HOLDERNESS — Learn tips and tricks to help you identify trees in the Squam Lakes Association's winter tree identification hike at the Five Finger Point Loop Trail from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 18.

This program is expected to run for two to three hours and is 2.7 miles. Participants should bring their own food and water for the duration of the program. If any participant has their own identification books and knows how to use them or wants to learn that is encouraged but not required.

Participants should also be sure to have appropriate attire and layering for winter hiking, extra layers and comfortable water resistant hiking shoes as well as snowshoes and/or microspikes depending on conditions. The SLA can provide snowshoes and microspikes upon request.

Meet at the Five Finger Point trailhead at the end of Pinehurst Road.
