Winter Twigs and Buds at Lookout Mountain

Join the Koma Kulshan Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society for a winter walk led by Abe Lloyd and Allan Richardson. The walk will emphasize identification of deciduous trees and shrubs based on their twigs and buds (copies of a key will be provided). There is a diverse assortment of native and some non-native plants along the trails that we will explore. Bring a hand lens (if you have one), snacks, and dress for the weather.

The number of spaces will be limited. Contact Allan Richardson at asrichardson5@gmail.com to sign up.
