Arbor Day Tree Walk

 Saturday, April 28
10 a.m. – noon
1.5 – 2.5 miles over mildly hilly trails

Join Robert Judd, local arborist, and Deirdra Wallin, program coordinator at Deer Pond Farm and advanced master gardener, for an enjoyable walk and talk learning how our trees are part of a social network and are influenced by the environment.

This walk is a follow up to the collaborative book discussion on Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate―Discoveries from a Secret World by Peter Wohlleben (2016) between The Connecticut Audubon Society and the Sherman Library. We’ll explore the concepts of the book while observing the phenological stages of various trees such as our native Amelanchier canadensis (serviceberry or shadblow), Cornus florida (dogwood) and our Malus (apple) trees.

Dress for the weather. Inclement weather cancels. Bring binoculars, camera and a sense of adventure.
