Tree identification is one of the most important skills for anyone interested in managing forests. In this course you will learn how to identify 30 common tree species of this area. Before you get into the individual tree lists, though, step through the Basics of Tree Identification to see what features are used to differentiate one species from another, and then work through the Tree ID Primer to get an idea of what steps to take as you try to identify an unknown tree in the forest. Good luck, and remember to have fun!
