Winter in the woods can be a really great time for getting to know trees. Many, of course, have lost their leaves — but that can make it even easier to focus on some of their even more visible features, from the shape of twigs to the shape of the tree, not to mention the bark, the buds, and more.  

Join Maine Master Naturalist Susan Cottle for a walk to check out trees in the woods at Hidden Valley Nature Center on Sunday, Jan. 30 at 1 p.m. 

This is a free event open to all ages, but group size is limited to 12 and registration is required. Participants are encouraged to register early to reserve a spot. For more information and to register, go to https://www.midcoastconservancy.org/events-list/appreciating-trees-in-winter.
