Summer Saturday: Tree Trek

Tree Trek: Uncovering Nature’s Green Giants

Pine Hill Recreation Area near Waynesboro, Pa.

Have you ever wondered what the names of trees are while you are on a hike or just outdoors?

Experience first-hand how to identify trees by looking at the different parts of the trees like leaves, bark and seeds.

Then join Buttonwood educators for a hike to test your ID skills to identify trees like oaks, poplars, pines, and others.

Participants should wear comfortable walking shoes.

Family-friendly fun!

This is one of eight different weekly Summer Saturday programs that run from 9–11 a.m. at Pine Hill Recreation Area.
Each week, we will explore a different nature topic as we enjoy the outdoors together.  

Sign up for one, several—or all sessions!
