HANCOCK — The Addison County organization Vermont Coverts: Woodlands for Wildlife will host a Winter Tree Identification Workshop on Saturday, Feb. 23. The free workshop will take place that from 1:30-3:30 p.m. at 419 Shampeny Hill Road in Hancock.
One of the easiest ways to identify trees is by their leaves. But what do you do in winter? Join hosts Margi and Owen Rogal for a walk in the woods and learn to use other characteristics like bark and twigs to identify common Vermont trees in the winter.
County Forester Chris Olson will help to lead this walk and share his insights into the winter woods. 
The workshop will be followed by cookies and cocoa. Bring snow shoes if you have them. Register and get directions by e-mailing info@vtcoverts.org or calling 802-877-2777.
