Nut Tree Walk

  • Saturday, July 6, 2024, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Join Agroforestry and Mushroom Specialist Connor Youngerman on a walk through the Cornell Arboretum and discover the yearly cycle of chestnuts, hazelnuts, and other nut trees. Learn basic tree ID along with the benefits and challenges of growing nut trees. Get information and resources for all things nuts!

Connor Youngerman studied Biology at the University of Prince Edward Island for his bachelor's degree and then went to Cornell where he received his Master's in Soil and Crop Science. Currently, he works at the Cornell Small Farms Program and his particular interests lie in advancing research and education for agroforestry tree nursery management, medicinal agroforestry crops, and novel mushroom substrates.

Participants should dress for the weather and wear shoes comfortable for walking at least one mile over uneven terrain.

Fee

The $20 class registration fee for each helps cover the cost of materials, guest presenters, and planning for future classes; all are encouraged to pay what you are able.
