This Week's Events in Coeur d'Alene and Surrounds
Tree Identification Class
Because we have such a varied range of latitudes, altitudes, soils, and precipitation patterns, Idaho has a wider variety of native trees than most other states in the Rocky Mountains. The first step in caring for these trees, whether they be in a landscape or in a forest, is correct identification of the tree.Distinguishing between Idaho's trees can be a daunting task for beginners.
Through a combination of images and live samples, a 2-hour workshop titled Identifying Idaho's Trees will help participants quickly identify Idaho's most common native trees, including: lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, western white pine, western larch, Douglas-fir, Engelmann spruce, grand fir, subalpine fir, western redcedar, western hemlock, pacific yew, black cottonwood, quaking aspen, and red alder.
Identifying Idaho's Trees will be held on Monday, February 9, 2015 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the University of Idaho Extension Office in Kootenai County, 1808 North 3rd St.,Coeur d'Alene. The program can accommodate a limited number. Those wishing to participate should pre-register at the Extension Office by Feb. 3. $10 registration fee covers handouts and refreshments. Program is co-sponsored by University of Idaho Extension and the Idaho Department of Lands. It is also being held as part of the University of Idaho Master Gardeners' Evening Horticulture Workshop Series.
