Program Description

Description

For centuries, families have welcomed the holiday season by decorating their homes using greenery including conifer trees (Pine, Spruce, or Fir).  Join the Front Royal Tree Stewards to learn more about these special trees, including how to tell common conifers apart. We will also include a walk around the library to identify conifers. Carrie Whitacre, Assistant Curator at the State Arboretum of Virginia at Blandy Experimental Farm, will lead this presentation.  Carrie is a certified arborist and enjoys walking along the Conifer Trail at the Arboretum.
