Tree information #862619

Asked March 27, 2024, 10:22 AM EDT

I'm interested in all the trees on my walking trail off Anacostia in NE.  Is there a guidebook or someone that can do a tour?

Expert Response

You might see if the Anacostia Waterhsed Society, https://www.anacostiaws.org/, is offering any programs on trees.  They have an online field guide that includes some trees, https://www.anacostiaws.org/images/Files/maps/AWS_Field_Guide_Digital-2019.pdf. The National Arboretum is also a good place to look at local tree species and they can probably recommend local guide books to trees.  The Maryland Native Plant Society also offers plant identification field trips in the region, https://mdflora.org/ and local resources.

Thanks for your interest in your local flora!

Thanks - Is there a guide that I can pay to walk the path and tell me all about the trees? The path is about 2 miles long with multiple tree species.

I don't know.  I think asking at the Anacostia Watershed Society or Maryland Native Plant Society would be your best options.
