What do white oaks, cottontail rabbits, craneflies, common
dandelions, and gray squirrels have in common? Come learn about the fascinating
world of white oaks and the natural communities they sustain at Fresh Pond. In
this workshop, we’ll go over winter tree identification with a focus on trees
found at Fresh Pond Reservation, as well as explore the numerous (and largely secret)
relationships between trees, mammals, birds, insects, et cetera. Enrich your
pond-side strolls with new insights into the Reservation’s ecosystems. Bring
your smartphone, tablet, or laptop all charged up for a group exploration with
Ranger Jean. Register for meeting place with fpr@cambridgema.gov.
