Tree Hike Series : Summer Tree Identification

Join Lenny Farlee on a summer tree identification hike. Lenny has a masters degree in forest management from Purdue University and is the extension forester for the Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center at Purdue University. Lenny will point out key identifying features for a variety of tree species. We will mostly be looking at the leaves, fruit, nuts, flowers of these trees. Expect to leave with a better understanding of key identifying characteristics of native trees species.

Please bring water as we will be outside for an extended period of time.

Program is limited to 20 participants. Program participation is free but non-members are subject to the $10 per carload admission fee. Meet in the first parking lot.

Special Note: Gabis Arboretum will be hosting a series of tree hikes throughout the year. We plan on having one in spring, summer, and winter, all focusing on different aspects of our trees. Read the individual descriptions to learn what each hike will focus on.

The third hike has not been scheduled yet. You will need to sign up for each hike independently. Signing up for one hike in the series does not sign you up for the rest. Thank you.
