Wednesday 28th March Tree Identification Nigel is our resident tree expert and has volunteered to guide us through the complex taxonomy of trees. As leaves will be a bit thin on the ground, Nigel will be using twigs. Feel free to bring in twigs of your own for our expert's evaluation (a bit like an arboreal Antiques Roadshow). Note: Unless otherwise stated, Wednesday events start at 8.30pm at the YMCA in Victoria Road, Chelmsford |
