Tree species can be identified by looking at several different features: leaves, bark, twigs, flowers, fruit, and seeds. Even the overall shape of a tree can give us clues to the tree's identity. Join a ranger to grab a leaf kit and take a look at leaves to learn how to identify common trees. This program will include an 'unbe-leaf-able' craft and meets Virginia Standards of Learning. Suitable for all ages and abilities.
