Join Chelsey Simmons of Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT) for an engaging tree identification walk at one of the Berkshires’ hidden gems. On this guided outing, participants will learn how to recognize commonly encountered trees in Western Massachusetts using key characteristics visible throughout the year.

The walk will cover approximately 2 miles over the course of about 2 hours, with a relaxed pace and frequent stops for observation and discussion. Trail conditions are flat and forgiving; it’s generally considered an easy walk.
