Description: The leaves are nearly gone from most shrubs, but that doesn't mean you can't learn to recognize them. Instructor Roland "Boot" Boutwell focuses on a number of macro-characteristics such as branching patterns, growth habits, bark, persistent fruit, galls, and habitats to help us identify more than 20 of our native New England shrubs in late fall and winter. We also discuss the natural history of the shrubs we see. The program begins with a classroom session and then moves into the field. Pre-registration is necessary, contact the registrar at 508-877-7630, ext. 3303.
