Closing Bell: Early Spring Tree Identification

Despite the weather, spring is officially here, and Brooklyn Brainery is offering classes on how to identify trees based on their bark, buds and shape in Greenpoint, Carroll Gardens and Prospect Heights. Taught by former forestry major Lisa McNett, the courses will begin with an overview of tree terminology and then move out onto the streets.

The Prospect Heights and Greenpoint walks seem to be full, but there are two Carroll Gardens classes on April 5, by which time hopefully some buds will have started to appear. The two-hour classes begin at 10:30 am and 12:30 pm on April 5, and the group will meet at Carroll Park. If you want to go, tickets are $13 and can be purchased through Brooklyn Brainery.
