Identifying With Trees
Saturday, December 4; 10 a.m. to 12 noon
[This is at the "new building"!]

All trees have stories to tell, from the myths and fables of ages past to today's natural histories. This family-friendly program will explore our human relationship with trees through both folklore and science. Come inside to hear members of Ithaca Area Storytellers share folk tales and legends about the magic and mystery of trees. Then bundle up and join naturalists outside to discover the real life trees of the winter world and unlock some of the mysteries of tree identification. You can also make a pine cone birdfeeder, enjoy a tasty tree treat and more! Storytelling and tree walks are half hour programs, each starting at 10:10 a.m., 10:50 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Pre-registration is requested. You may register online at http://www.cornellplantations.org/event/trees, or by contacting Kevin Moss, km274@cornell.edu, (607) 254-7430.

Instructor(s): Cornell staff, volunteers, and Ithaca Area Storytellers
Fee: $5 per family or group of up to 4 adults.
Location: Cornell Plantations Nevin Welcome Center and botanical gardens, 1 Plantations Road

This program is presented in conjunction with the Herbert F. Johnson Museum exhibit, "Trees and Other Ramifications: Branches in Nature and Culture" (www.museum.cornell.edu).
