The Growth of Trees: A Journey Through Time

May 16, 2021
8:00 am
- 5:00 pm

No single view of a tree is a fixed snapshot in time that tells the complete story.

Join Michael Wojitech of Know Your Trees to discover how trees grow, reproduce, and interact with their environment across days, weeks, seasons, and years and over varying scales—from the intricate details of buds, flowers, leaves, and bark that we use for species identification to the collaborative roles of trees in ecosystems.

Learn more about the function and experience the beauty of characteristics such as peeling bark, overwintering buds, lobed or toothed leaves, flowers by the thousands, and seeds that fly on the wind.
