TAMWORTH — Join Chocorua Lake Conservancy Stewardship Director Lynne Flaccus for "Twig-o-rama: Exploring Winter Buds and Tree ID," a wooded wander along the Swift River to look at winter twigs and explore adaptations that plants use to survive winter, on Thursday, Jan. 21, from 10 a.m. to noon. The snow date is Friday, Jan. 22.

How can you identify winter trees and shrubs by their buds or bark? What observations can you make to help with identification? Are the buds opposite or alternate, for instance, and are the buds naked? How do plants survive freezing temperatures? Do they photosynthesize even when the mercury drops below zero? What is the “evergreen advantage?” Bring your curiosity, questions and your own knowledge to share.
