Have you ever wondered what stories trees could tell if they could talk or how trees grow and change over their lifetime? What can trees can tell us about a place’s history and the ecological roles of different species? At this outdoor walk on the grounds of Chesterwood, find the answers to these questions and more. You’ll learn how the area has changed over the past 11,000 years, what clues to look for when reading the history of a New England landscape, and how to identify a few common tree species in the area — all while taking in the scenery of Chesterwood’s historic gardens, forests and wetlands.
