SUMMARY:The Growth of Trees: A Journey Through Time with Michael Wojtech 11/20/25
DESCRIPTION:Michael Wojtech\nThe Growth of Trees: A Journey Through Time\nNov. 20\, 2025\, 7pm\nOn Zoom and in person at Elmwood Community Center\n1106 New Britain Avenue\nWest Hartford\nMembers will receive the Zoom link the Sunday before the talk.\nFree for members; $10 for non-members (register here) \nNo single view of a tree is a fixed snapshot in time that tells a complete story. Join Michael and discover how trees grow\, reproduce\, and interact with their environment across days\, weeks\, seasons\, and years and over varying spatial scales—from the intricate details of buds\, flowers\, leaves\, and bark that we use for species identification to the collaborative roles of trees in ecosystems. Experience the function and beauty of characteristics such as peeling bark\, overwintering buds\, lobed or toothed leaves\, flowers by the thousands\, and seeds that fly on the wind. \nMichael strives to share the science and beauty of natural history in an accessible and compelling fashion through presentations\, participatory activities\, and outdoor exploration. He writes and teaches about the structure\, growth processes\, and ecology of trees—including their bark\, buds\, leaves\, roots\, and wood—for audiences at all levels of experience. He explores how knowing the natural history of the places we live\, and love\, fosters connection and the feeling of home. \nMichael earned his master’s degree in Conservation Biology from Antioch University New England in Keene\, NH. He is the author of Bark: A Field Guide to Trees of the Northeast and co-author of Drawing Leaves and Trees: Observing and Sketching the Natural World.  \nFree for members; $10 for non-members (register here)
