Winter Tree ID

November 16 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free

Join the Land Conservancy of West Michigan and Friends of Fruitland Township Trails at Duck Creek Natural Area for a guided winter tree identification hike.

Just a few days before the Land Conservancy of West Michigan’s Holiday Hike Challenge kicks off, this is a great opportunity to brush up on your tree ID knowledge before competing for the Holiday Hike grand prize!  

The hike will be led by DNR staff Alec Zuhorski and Joshua Lubben.

Alec is a forest health technician, surveying for vulnerable trees and managing the invasive species that pose a threat to them. His personal pursuits also entail walking through the forest, but slower, looking to meet new plants, insects, and other folk.

Joshua has received is BS in Conversation Biology from Lake Superior State University, and has worked as a Forest Health technician for nearly 2 years. As well as a professional interest, he has had a strong personal interest in forest ecology for many years.  

This event will happen rain or shine – please come dressed for the weather. Please note this event is during hunting season – while hunting is not allowed on the section of the trail we will be visiting, we recommend wearing bright colors.
