Description:   We will examine the characteristics used to identify the major oak trees found in Georgia.  We will concentrate on leaf characteristics but may also use bark, acorn, twig and bud features.  There will be a Power Point Presentation with diagrams illustrating the above characteristics and close-up photos of the major tree species. After this, we will key out several species.  Keys will be sent to those who register.  Also, we will examine the photos of 26 species of oaks from my website (https://www.ngaflora.com/).

Location & Directions:   This is a Zoom Workshop.

Meet At:   Presentation will begin at 2:00 pm. You probably need to login a few minutes early.
