Urban Canopies: Fruiting Trees of Cambridge

Dig into the sweet (and sometimes messy) side of tree life in the city. On a guided walk around the park, examine how trees reproduce and disperse their seeds while providing food for wildlife (and us). Observe common native species like serviceberry, mulberry, and cottonwood, some of which bear edible fruit. Learn about the ecological value of fruiting trees in urban spaces while sharpening your ID skills and deepening your appreciation for nature in the city.
