EVERGREENS AT FRESH POND - February 28, 2010
Sunday, February 28, 1:00 to 3:00 pm
Meeting place will be provided to people who register for the program.
Come check out the Reservation's hollies, cedars, rhododendrons, junipers, azaleas, pines, spruces and firs: trees and shrubs that do not lose their leaves or needles in winter. We'll look at the many ways these plants have adapted to winter conditions such as the lack of water, the presence of wind and the threat of freezing. Participants will learn to use Tree Finder guides by May Theilgaard Watts to help identify the evergreens as we marvel at the ingenuity of their design. You can use our Finder guides, or purchase one from us for $5. Most of the plants will be on or near the perimeter road. Children are welcome with an adult.
Events are FREE and open to the public. Children are welcome in the company of an adult.
Please register in advance for each event that you plan to attend. Important information on parking will be given to you when you register. E-mail Elizabeth Wylde at: friendsoffreshpond@yahoo.com
