VMN Shenandoah Chapter Member Paul Guay has created a comprehensive identification guide to the trees at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley (MSV). The guide is a fabulous educational resource blending dendrology, poetry, history and much more.
From the guide ... “…it’s a forest like no other: A wonderful mix of native, non-native, invasive and exotic plants and works of art sculped by the hands of women and men, a joint experiment by nature and by humans. With wide hiking paths winding through it, the Trails at MSV are a place to enjoy and ponder the wonder and beauty of nature, and of human endeavor, and of all of the secrets hidden therein.” Review the 53 page guide here.
