Michael Wojtech will give a hybrid talk, “The Growth of Trees,” such as twigs and winter buds, on Thursday, March 21, as part of Mid-Coast Audubon’s next program in its nature talk series.
Mid-Coast Audubon is set to host the next program in its nature talk series, in partnership with Camden Public Library, “The Growth of Trees” with speaker Michael Wojtech.
The event, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 21, will take place virtually via Zoom.
No single view of a tree is a fixed snapshot in time that tells the complete story. Wojtech will talk about how trees grow, reproduce, and interact with their environment across days, weeks, seasons and years. He’ll discuss varying scales — from the intricate details of buds, flowers, leaves, and bark that people use for species identification to the collaborative roles of trees in ecosystems, according to a news release.
People can learn more about the function and experience the beauty of characteristics such as overwintering buds, lobed or toothed leaves, flowers by the thousands, and seeds that fly on the wind.
This event is free and open to the public. Registration details are available at midcoast.maineaudubon.org.
As a naturalist and educator, Wojtech strives to share the science and wonder of trees in an accessible and compelling fashion. He writes, photographs, illustrates, and presents programs about the structure, growth processes, and ecology of trees.
