The Sleeping Forest: Identifying Trees Without Their Leaves

Time: 10am - 12pm

Description: Bundle up and enjoy the stark winter beauty of the forest at Kawartha Conservation’s Ken Reid Conservation Area while learning to identify trees without leaves. From buds, bark, shape, and other clues, we will explore the many distinctions present in the sleeping forest to help identify different kinds of trees. A simple identification key will be provided to all participants for use during the hike and can be taken home where you can continue to practise your new skills! Bring binoculars, if you have them, and dress warmly for the weather to join us for a leisurely hike among the trees.

Facilitators: Sam Clapperton, Kawartha Land Trust and Joel Grandmont, D.M. Wills Associates Limited

Organized by

Kawartha Land Trust (KLT) is a dynamic land conservation charity with an impressive track record of growth. Our mission is to care for the lands entrusted to us and help others protect the land they love in the Kawarthas. We create nature reserves for future generations by acquiring ecologically important properties and/or interests in properties. We also enhance our stewardship of the land by engaging landowners in land care initiatives through our Partners in Conservation program.

Founded in 2001, KLT protects 31 properties that include more than 5,250 acres of ecologically diverse lands, some of which include hiking trails that introduce thousands of people to nature in the Kawarthas every year. We have achieved our successes through the work of our dedicated and growing team of donors, volunteers and supporters. Together, we can ensure more natural spaces in the Kawarthas are preserved forever.

KLT works within the Treaty 20 Michi Saagiig Territory and we are dedicated to continuing to create meaningful connections and relationships with First Nations communities in our region as we build upon these connections.
