Learn to ID Idaho's trees

Distinguishing between Idaho’s trees can be a daunting task for beginners. Through a combination of images and live samples, a three-hour workshop, "Identifying Idaho’s Trees," will help participants quickly identify Idaho’s most common native trees.

Participants will also learn about the ecology, silviculture, and history of these species.

Common trees include lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, western white pine, western larch, Douglas fir, Engelmann spruce, grand fir, subalpine fir, western redcedar, western hemlock, pacific yew, black cottonwood, quaking aspen, paper birch and red alder.

Identifying Idaho’s Trees will be held 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 26 at the Idaho Department of Fish and Game Meeting Room, 2885 W. Kathleen Ave. in Coeur d’Alene.
