The Harvard Museum of Natural History will sponsor an author talk by Michael Wojtech on Sunday, October 9, beginning at 2 pm at the Museum, 26 Oxford Street in Cambridge. Many people know how to identify trees by their leaves, but what happens when those leaves that have fallen or are out of reach? With detailed information and illustrations covering each phase of a tree’s life-cycle, author and naturalist Michael Wojtech will explain how to identify trees by their bark—the one tree characteristic that’s visible all year round. Learn about the structure and ecology of tree bark and how its different traits evolved. Free with museum admission. For directions and more information, log on to www.hmnh.harvard.edu.
