The John Clayton chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society is hosting a free walk Saturday around Freedom Park in Williamsburg to learn how to distinguish woody plants by their growth habit, bark, buds, bud scales and leaf scars.

Meet at the Freedom Park Interpretive Center parking lot, 5537 Centerville Road, at 10 a.m. Contact Meegan Wallace at clm003@verizon.net for more information. In case of inclement weather, the backup date is March 28.
