The Gardiner Library will hold a Tree Identification Walk on Thursday, May 9 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Pre-registration is recommended, call 255-1255.

Join Minnewaska Park Educator, Nick Martin, for a free tree walk on the trails near the Gardiner Library. Along the way, attendees will explore ways to identify trees, including using tree bark and buds. Participants are encouraged to bring a notepad or sketch pad and pencil, a tree field guide or a smart device with a field guide installed.

Tree identification will occur entirely on the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail adjacent to the library. Participants will gather at the library at 133 Farmer’s Turnpike in Gardiner.
