Led by artist Gina Siepel\, in collaboration with a naturalist from the Schuylkill Center\, we will undertake a guided exploration of the forest. During this workshop\, we’ll practice tree identification using field guides and online tools\, and we’ll have an overview of the anatomy and physiology of trees. We will also take the opportunity to study the material in depth\, splitting logs and other found materials and exploring the life of the tree through an examination of the wood itself. \nPictured above is the summer canopy at the MacLeish Field Station at Smith College—photo by Gina Siepel. \n  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Images above: Lotte Walworth and Silvie Schlein splitting logs.
