(DMV) (Capital Nature) Winter reveals the forms and details of trees that often go unnoticed during nature’s busy seasons. There is magic in the air, and sometimes even snow! Join Capital Nature and reknown local naturalist Alonso Abugattas, the Capital Naturalist, for a fascinating talk on Washington DC-area trees during the winter months. Evergreens like American Hollies and Eastern Cedars provide life-sustaining food and shelter to birds and other wildlife, and reward us with sightings of refreshing green and red. Deciduous trees reveal stunning winter forms while they gather strength for spring buds. With a keen eye you can recognize amazing Oaks, Beeches, and Sycamores by their distinctive bark, nuts, and fruits. Alonso will draw on his abundant knowledge of the natural world, and on legends of indigenous peoples to reveal the amazing living world of our local trees in winter.
