(EDIT)
The class is full - we had to cap it at 80 people, 50 enrolled and 30 waitlisted. We will let people in off the waitlist if they come to the first day of class, to make sure everyone is interested. If you are still interested in tree things email connorpryan42@berkeley.edu and I’ll send you some cool readings & resources that we’ll use in the decal

Course Number #21018 (sign up directly in CalCentral)
Mondays 4-5:30

This class will provide an introduction to some of the common trees of California and some of the nonnative species planted on the Berkeley campus. We will go over characteristic traits of these species, their functions in ecosystems, and general tree identification skills that can be applied to other ecosystems. Beyond that, weekly readings will aim to increase awareness about ecology, ecosystems, and people, including Indigenous land management, history of California ecosystems, and current land-management issues.

Class will meet outdoors each week. Attendance will be recorded for participation, although all reasonable absences will be excused, and there will be a brief group quiz each week as well as weekly quizzes on bCourses, which will allow unlimited attempts. There is a brief presentation on a tree species of choice at the end of the semester.
