#BLTrees: A Year in the Life (December)

The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 14, 2021

It's month two of our year-long project, #BLTrees. Marielle Anzelone, botanist and founder of NYC Wildflower Week (.org), and Regina Alvarez, assistant professor of biology at Dominican College and former director of Urban Horticulture and Woodland Management at the Central Park Conservancy, talk about what's happening with the trees as the weather gets colder and offer tips for identifying trees in their leaf-less state, based on their trunks and branches.
