The University of Illinois Extension wants you to know your trees. They are offering a winter tree identification webinar series. Christopher Evans is a forestry and research specialist with the Extension and he is teaching the class. He said the classes are free and totally open to anyone. As long as they re interested in learning about trees and willing to listen to me talk for an hour, they are welcome to take it, he said. There is no age limit.
Evans said identifying trees in the summer is a wonderful first step but added that trees spend about half the year without leaves.

GALESBURG Knowing your trees is an important skill to have when managing a forest. The most common way to identify trees is their leaves, but trees spend almost half the year leafless.
University of Illinois Extension is offering the free three-part webinar series Winter Tree Identification starting February 1.
Forester Chris Evans will teach the basic characteristics that are used to identify trees in winter - location, bark, twigs, buds. He will also cover in detail how to ID common and uncommon Illinois trees, and spend time focusing on the hard-to-identify groups, such as hickories. Sign up to attend one or all three sessions.
