Silver Birch: Winter Tree I.D.

Watch our resident ethnobotanist, Jennie Martin, explain the key features used to identify a Silver Birch tree.

If you have ever wanted to learn some techniques for identifying trees without their leaves you can join Jennie on our Winter Tree Walk, on the 5th February. We will explore the woodlands around Findhorn and Moray, learning how to identify trees at this glorious time of year.

Learn to identify evergreen and deciduous trees by using their cones, bark and buds. We will also look into some of the ethnobotanical uses of the species we identify; their historical, cultural and medicinal uses.
