[IBC] Identifying Trees in the wild
Our community has a large tract of wooded land which is scheduled for
clear-cutting this summer. At any rate, I contacted our city manager's office and have been given a permit to collect anything/everything I want from the area to be cleared. There seems to be a pretty good variety of trees including Beech, Maple, Oak, Willow, supposedly some Elm and Hawthorn, and of course some bushes, shrubs, etc. My question is this: is there any telltale giveaway means to tell what is what without leaves (e.g. bark, buds, etc)? I'm fairly good at being able to determine a tree by the leaf; but can't do it very well by the bark (except stuff like Birch & Beech). If anyone knows right off hand, thanks in advance. If not, is there a good guide that I could check out at the library?
