Hoyt Arboretum is the premier park in Portland to experience all that conifers offer and probably not very many birds. While we likely will get distracted by a few birds and non-conifer trees, we will focus on the breadth of conifers that can grow in the Portland area, and how to differentiate between them. Most conifers can be identified any time of year, so it is a good group to focus on in late winter/early spring while we wait for other trees to get easier to identify.
