Have you ever looked at a tree and wondered “who are you?” The Adirondack Mountains are filled with millions of trees, and even though many look similar, each species has its own unique features. Spend the afternoon with an AIC Naturalist learning how to notice these features and identify key Adirondack trees. With the use of hand lenses, dichotomous keys, and other tools you will never look at a tree the same way again.
