Meet the Trees of Washington
In this fun field class, participants will be introduced to the magnificence of our native trees as well as four South Sound ecosystems: marine shorelines, prairies, freshwater riparian areas, and they will learn some basic keying skills.
Following a morning in the classroom, we’ll travel by bus (provided) for a field trip to a local nature trail to learn to identify native trees, shrubs, ferns and perennials.
Stream Team and WSU’s Native Plant Salvage Project team up every year to present this free field class on a Saturday in early to mid-June from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., in Olympia.
The class is especially beneficial for newcomers to our area or anyone else who has ever wondered about the benefits and horticultural uses of native trees and other plants. Participants will learn about several different natural areas to visit in South Sound to experience different ecosystems and the plants and animals that inhabit them.
The workshop is free but space is limited. Register by calling WSU’s Native Plant Salvage Project at 360-867-2166 or email nativeplantsalvage@gmail.com.
