Most people identify trees by their leaves, but the bark and growth forms of tree species are unique, too. This tour will teach how to identify tree species when leaves are not available by walking through an old-growth forest where trees are more than 300 years old and still growing. The class is outside, please dress for the weather and be prepared to walk a mile on uneven terrain.

Marvin Pritts was born in rural southwestern Pennsylvania. He obtained a B.S. in Biology from Bucknell University in 1978, a M.S. in Biology (Plant Ecology) from the University of South Carolina in 1980, and a Ph.D. in horticulture at Michigan State University working with wild species of blueberries. Marvin came to Cornell in 1984 as the berry crop specialist with an appointment in extension, research, and teaching. He works primarily with production and pest management systems in strawberries and raspberries, and has consulted with berry farmers throughout the world.

The walk will be in Trumansburg, the location of this class will be emailed to all registrants the day before.
