SUMMARY:What Trees Remember: Climate\, Water\, and Change (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:(MD) (Natural History Society of Maryland) Trees are invaluable record-keepers of the past. Since their annual growth is intrinsically related to a combination of environmental factors\, tree ring data can be used like a Rosetta Stone. Dr. Karen King will demonstrate how her research in biogeography and climate change is informed by tree-ring data. We will focus on regional examples from western Maryland to learn what tree rings can tell us about temperature\, hydroclimate\, and ecological variability.

SUMMARY:Spring Forest Bathing and Tree Walk at Tregaron
DESCRIPTION:(DC) (Politics & Prose) Join Melanie Choukas-Bradley\, author of Wild Walking—A Guide to Forest Bathing Through the Seasons\, The Joy of Forest Bathing\, A Year in Rock Creek Park\, and several other nature books for a magical spring forest bathing walk through the enchanting Tregaron Conservancy\, a woodland garden tucked away in the midst of northwest Washington that has been restored and stewarded by a non-profit organization since 2006. We will meander under tall trees in autumn glory\, cross picturesque bridges over musical streams\, and climb stone steps through a century-old cultivated and wild woodland landscape reminiscent of “the secret garden.” \nShinrin-yoku\, or forest bathing\, began in the 1980s in Japan and it is rooted in the traditional Japanese reverence for nature. Forest bathing is a mindfulness practice akin to meditation\, yoga and tai chi that involves tuning in to the beauty and wonder of your natural surroundings with all of your senses.

SUMMARY:Neighborhood Invasive Vine Removal in Hillcrest
DESCRIPTION:(DC) (Casey Trees) Join Meredith from CCAN to remove Invasive Vines around the Hillcrest neighborhood in Washington DC. We will meet at the Hillcrest Rec Center and spend 30 minutes doing training. From there we will break into pairs and head to a list of pre-surveyed residences in the area to offer vine removal for residents. We may also drop off flyers at additional residences. \nWe will focus on non-native invasive vines including porcelainberry (Ampelopsis glandulosa var. brevipedunculata) and English ivy (Hedera helix). Please wear long pants\, long sleeves\, and close-toed shoes. Instructions and tools will be provided\, so just bring yourself and a good attitude!

SUMMARY:Tree Tour in Marvin Gaye Park
DESCRIPTION:(DC) (Casey Trees) Take a tour of the trees in the longest continuous city park and creek in the District. On this two-hour walk\, DC urban forester Alexander Grieve will highlight diverse tree species in the park — including oak\, tulip\, and elm — and their unique characteristics and vital contributions to our ecosystem. Along the way\, you’ll learn how DC selects and maintains the city’s trees in parks and public spaces throughout the District. \nWe’ll also discover how these living giants combat pollution\, manage stormwater\, cool the city\, and improve air quality\, all while uncovering how your actions can ensure the urban forest’s lasting survival.
