In Search of New Trees
Tree ID
Wednesday, June 11

Always a favorite, Tree ID is a knowledge sharing hike with a focus on identifying different species of trees. Knowledgeable guides walk you through the defining characteristics that make identifying trees fun and easy.
Each month we will set out through Brady’s Run Park in search of terrific new trees we can add to our list. Join us for this family-friendly adventure into the uniquely varied world of trees.
Directions to our events
All our events meet at the Forest Exploration Center & Native Tree Nursery in Brady’s Run Park.
We are adjacent to the Maple Syrup Lodge, 526 Brady’s Run Rd, Beaver Falls, PA 15010.
When you get to the park, we are one mile past the Rt. 51 entrance. You will turn left onto a little bridge and the Lodge will be in front of you. Turn left before the Lodge and drive on down to our greenhouse and our office building and pavilion (both are green).
