A Study of Tree Growth

---

No single view of a tree tells the complete story. Through classroom presentation, hands-on activity, and outdoor exploration, you'll examine how trees grow, reproduce, and interact with their environment over time and across varying spatial scales. Delve into the collaborative roles that trees play within ecosystems and learn how to identify species by specific traits such as peeling bark, lobed leaves, overwintering buds, and seeds. You'll come away with a broader perspective on tree observation and be able to link the characteristics of each tree species with their physiology and ecology.

Instructor:	Michael Wojtech Michael Wojtech Michael Wojtech As a naturalist, writer, photographer, illustrator and educator, Michael hopes to share the science and beauty of natural history and inspire a sense of wonder and awe. He writes and teaches about the identifying characteristics, growth processes, and ecology of trees-including their bark, buds, leaves, roots, and wood-for audiences at all levels of experience, and explores how getting to know the places we live and love fosters connection and the feeling of home. Michael earned his masters degree in Conservation Biology from Antioch University New England. He is the author of Bark: A Field Guide to Trees of the Northeast and co-author of Drawing Leaves and Trees: Observing and Sketching the Natural World.
