Seeing Nature and Identifying What You Have Seen

Richard Stromberg will review written and digital tools available to help you identify things in the natural world. He will show you how he has stored observations so he can look them up and share them.

The presentation will be held on Sunday, February 15, from 1-3 p.m. on the lower level of the Manor House at Belle Grove (336 Belle Grove Road, Middletown, VA 22645).

Coffee, tea, and refreshments of home baked goods will be shared with attendees.

He is also a member of the Virginia Native Plant Society and supports cleaning the trails and to combat invasive plants. He is also a Master Naturalist and newsletter editor for the Piedmont Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society and Potomac Appalachian Trail Club.
