#BLTrees: A Year in the Life (December) - a podcast by WNYC

It's month two of our year-long project, #BLTrees. Marielle Anzelone, botanist and founder of NYC Wildflower Week (.org), and Regina Alvarez, assistant professor of biology at Dominican College and former director of Urban Horticulture and Woodland Management at the Central Park Conservancy, talk about what's happening with the trees as the weather gets colder and offer tips for identifying trees in their leaf-less state, based on their trunks and branches.

#BLtrees Tweeting my tree! Near Flatbush Ave in my nabe. Listening to @nycbotanist on the Brian Lehrer Show on @wnyc. I think this is a dogwood. It's exceptionally gorgeous in bloom! Stay tuned for that. pic.twitter.com/DxTRUMedus
