Tree Walk
Shade Trees of DC
Shawn Walker, Urban Forestry Instructor, Casey Trees

Get to know some of the key representatives of DC’s urban forest population. We will focus on larger trees we find in our parks, streets and home landscapes. Participants will learn basic identification skills. Emphasis will be on the outstanding characteristics that give these trees aesthetic appeal and make them suited for the urban landscaped environment. The walk will cover a moderate distance over uneven terrain.
