Evergreens form the backbone of winter landscapes as well as provide shelter and food sources for owls, warblers, red squirrels, opossums, and beneficial insects. Learn the identifying characteristics, classification, and habitats of approximately 20 native conifers and broadleaved evergreens. Gain a working knowledge of the best species to incorporate into your own ecologically diverse landscape. Dress for winter conditions because the class will be held outdoors and in the lab.
