4th Saturday Talks: Trees of Phil Hardberger Park

The event’s purpose is to learn about the many special understory and canopy trees in our area.

This walk will be led by Michael Nentwich, president and founder of Bexar Branches Alliance. Michael has nearly 20 years of experience in community forestry management and program development. He was San Antonio’s first City Forester and later served as City Forester and Bureau Manager of Parks and Urban Forestry with the City of Norfolk.

He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Science and a Master’s Degree in Forestry from Stephen F. Austin University. He has extensive knowledge and a deep and abiding interest in trees as well as being a great communicator. You will be introduced to the common tree species found in the park, and probably will get to see and learn about Eve’s Necklace, Gum Bumelia, and Brasil among many other fascinating species.

SPECIAL NOTE: Our presenter has so much to share we are “allowing” 2.5 hours for the full walk, but participants are free to leave earlier.
