Though it’s still chilly outside, and there will still be snow on the ground -- the signs of spring are already visible in many places if you know where to look.

The New Jersey Botanical Garcen will sponsor an end-of-winter tree walk 10 a.m. Sat., March 18.

Attendees can join head landscape designer Rich Flynn for an educational walk in the garden. You’ll “meet” dozens of beautiful trees and learn how to identify them from their structure, branching, and budding patterns before their leaves once again appear.

Meet at the Carriage House Visitor Center at 10 a.m., and wear comfortable shoes. Snow or heavy rain cancels.

The walk is open to the public free of charge, but a $5 donation is welcomed.

The NJBG/Skylands is located on Morris Road in Ringwood.
