Friday, June 28, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm – Tracing Landscape History: Cambridge

What can the presence (or absence) of greenery teach about the layered history of a place? Together with Courtney Allen of the Native Plant Trust, we walk and analyze the changing landscape, guided by evidence from significant trees in the neighborhood. The discussion addresses local inhabitants’ relationship to native plants over generations. Wear walking shoes and dress for the weather. The class takes place June 28 from 1 – 3, is $24 for NPT members, $28 for nonmembers, and you’ll receive information on the starting address upon registration. http://www.nativeplanttrust.org/events/tracing-landscape-history-cambridge/
