Join SOLVE for a free educational workshop!

Have you ever tried to identify a plant without its leaves in the dead of winter? With a few simple tips, you can identify native trees and shrubs on your next walk through the woods this season. Sage Jensen, a native plant expert, will teach you to use different features like color, texture, and leaf scars to identify plants without their leaves. This training will start out in the classroom followed by an outdoor walk so you can practice identifying winter twigs. Space is limited so please register today!
