“If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees.” – Hal Borland, Naturalist
Indeed, the generosity of trees extends well beyond their common practical uses, and they are perhaps most abundantly vital during the spring season. Led by the trees, this walk will build on the Fall 2023 program content (all newcomers are welcome), beginning with a review of identification basics. Further topic areas will include explorations of seasonal growth cycles, life stages, habitat preferences and ecological relationships with fauna, funga and other flora. Additionally, we will read a bit of the landscape history as told by the trees. This program will run rain or shine.
Rob Riman spent his youth roaming Lake Michigan’s upland ravines and paddling nearby headwaters of the Mississippi. Following studies in geology, and a decade leading remote expeditions across North America, from alpine heights to coastal backwaters, he went on to built traditional wooden boats with NYC youth, and pursued graduate work in architecture and sustainable design, leading to his co-founding of the local nonprofit Home Energy Efficiency Team (HEET). Today, he delights in his roles as naturalist and place-sourced educator, embracing landful living practices, while working to decolonize his own learning. Homeschool dad to two semi-feral children and avid forager, Rob resides along the former shoreline of the Quinobequin’s impounded estuary, on traditional territory of the Massachusett and Pawtucket people.
