Led by Bob Leverett
Meet at North Farms Rd. entrance

Forests may feel timeless as you walk through them, but they are complex, dynamic ecosystems, and each has its own distinct history. Join Bob Leverett for an examination of the New England forest as represented in the Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area. We’ll learn to identify individual species while also observing the successional past of the forest as a whole. Among other things, Bob will explain how trees are measured, how forests are aged, and how forested sites are documented for purposes of study and preservation.

Bob is a co-founder of the Eastern Native Tree Society and an expert on old-growth forests of the eastern U.S.
