We are offering roughly two dozen forest literacy hikes all across Ohio, led by premier Ohio naturalists and conservationists, all of whom are passionate about sharing their craft and willing to volunteer their time to help you on your sylvan journey. Their goal is to transform your perception of nature as a “wall of green” into a community of distinct tree species that will one day become your familiar and cherished friends. If you are like most people, achieving such mastery requires having a mentor. Our Tree Elders will give you certainty when you are in doubt, humor when you are feeling overwhelmed, and motivation when your own will is flagging.
