Once you can differentiate at a glance one species of conifer from another, you'll be surprised how friendly the entire forest is. This class is part of the budding Olympia Naturalist Committee "Talk and Walk".
Cliff Cantor, a recognized expert in conifers and other trees of Washington, will be the guest speaker and field trip guide. Cliff is also a frequent volunteer leader with WTA.
The talk, on October 29 from 6pm to 8pm at Olympia Community Center. 222 Columbia Street NW. Rooms 101,102. The talk is open to anyone and will provide you tools for doing your own "tree sleuthing" on any hike or walk.
The walk (hike) is Nov 3 in the Teanaways and has a participant limit of 10. You will need to attend the lecture in order to register for the hike. The Teanaways are particularly spectacular this time of year when the larch are at their golden best. According to Cliff, " If you are surrounded by them when they're golden in the fall, something is right with your life."
The Teanaways are the goal, but weather conditions might necessitate a change.
