Even the summer heat couldn’t stop Dr. Rick Gage from sharing his love of trees! As part of the Lifelong Learning program, Dr. Gage led a “Tree Walk” across Marshall University’s campus, guiding participants through a hands-on exploration of the diverse and fascinating trees that call our campus home.
Attendees learned how to use a dichotomous key (yes, there’s a lot of cool vocab!) to identify different species, picked up tips on tree identification, and discovered some of the hidden stories trees can tell us—about both science and campus history.
