SUMMARY:Tree Walks and Talks: Winter’s Coming But Trees Can’t Go Inside
DESCRIPTION:Ever notice trees while you’re out and about and wish you knew more about them? Join Elli Morris\, a tree lover with a Master of Forestry and extensive training in post-disturbance forest restoration\, for SJMA’s new Tree Walks & Talks interpretive series. These wanderings will focus on site-specific trees and our relationship with them. From fire adaptations to tree architecture to internal antifreeze\, appreciating trees can make any hike more enjoyable. Come be impressed not just with tree intelligence but the role trees play in our lives – and the roles we play in theirs. \nTree Walks and Talks: Winter’s coming but trees can’t go inside!\nWould you want to stay outside all winter\, especially without a coat\, mittens\, or hat? How do trees make it in such harsh conditions? From roots to shoots\, trees get prepared for a long cold winter. Join us for a walk along the river trail to learn about natural antifreeze\, recessed stomata and much more. Meet at the Y of the river trail and the Durango Public Library for this 2-mile roundtrip hike. \nWhen: October 18 \, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nWhere: Meet behind the Durango Public Library along Animas River Trail \nWhat to Bring: \n\nWater\, snacks or lunch\nHat\, sunscreen\, weather-appropriate layers\nWalking shoes\n\nCost: Free!

She’s a member of the La Plata County Tree Study Group. Elli’s biggest intrigue with trees is learning (and sharing) the multitude of skills trees employ for thriving in their habitat. She cannot recall how many trees she’s climbed but for sure she has a photo of at least one tree from the 60 countries and territories she’s visited.
