Virtual MDC program will be offered twice in January
BRANSON, Mo. – Ever wonder how to identify trees when they have no leaves? Learn how with a virtual Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) program.
Staff with Shepherd of the Hills Conservation Education Center will host two virtual sessions focused on Intro to Tree ID from 11 a.m. to noon Jan. 10 and 6-7 p.m. Jan. 13.
Register for the Jan. 10 session by Jan. 8 at https://mdc-event-web.s3licensing.com/Event/EventDetails/214281
Register for the Jan. 13 event by Jan. 9 at https://mdc-event-web.s3licensing.com/Event/EventDetails/214282
MDC Naturalist Leah Eden will share the clues to help participants identify trees by their twigs, fruits, and bark. The virtual program is open to all ages, and both presentations will be the same. Two sessions are provided to manage the anticipated high attendance volumes, but registrants are asked to sign up for only one session to leave space for others.
Although this program is free, registration is still required. Registrants must provide an email, so a program link may be sent to them. For this program, only one registration will be needed per screen for multiple participants at the same location.
