Learn to ID trees while hiking the Niagara Escarpment
SharefXin✉

Most everybody can tell a maple from an oak, but would you know an American Hornbeam if you walked into one?

The Western New York Land Conservancy, the organization restoring the Stella Niagara preserve as well as spearheading the $2.1 million Niagara Gorge ecological diversity project, will be sponsoring a Winter Tree ID Hike at the Niagara Escarpment Preserve on Saturday, Feb. 3, from 10 am to noon.

“Bundle up and join us for a winter walk at the Niagara Escarpment Preserve in Lockport and learn how to identify our region’s trees in the wintertime.”
The hike will be led by guest guide and tree expert, Erik Danielsen. Register online by searching “Winter Tree Hike” at eventbrite.com, or call (716) 687-1225. There are only a few slots left.
