Please park in the Canticle Park parking lot (Parking Map included above) & meet the instructor in the grassy area.

All participants will be requested to wear masks on Assisi Heights grounds.
Come join this gathering as we investigate and trace environmental and historical changes using a cross-section of a tree, or a “tree cookie”. This is one way to learn about tree growth by looking at a tree’s annual rings. Tree rings show patterns of change in the tree’s life and can sometimes tell us the tree’s location in the forest. Limited to 10 participants. Register early.
