Tree and Shrub ID Challenge

Twenty species of trees and shrubs at the Pine River Paddlesports Center are waiting for you to find and identify them!

Our Tree and Shrub ID Challenge worksheet with map is available as an Adobe PDF document that you can download and print. We also have copies available in the PRPC office.

List the identified trees with their corresponding number on this printer-friendly challenge form. The challenge is great family fun, it’s free, and it’s educational. So bring your tree & shrub field guide from home and enjoy PRPC’s Tree/Shrub I.D. Challenge.

Participants who wish to enter their completed challenge form in a drawing for an Old Town Otter Kayak at season’s end, can do so for an entry fee of $2. All trees and shrubs not marked with an “O” for optional need to be correctly identified in order to qualify to win the new Otter Kayak.

If you don’t have a field guide at home, a “Pocket Naturalist” guide for Michigan Trees, Wildflowers, & Shrubs, which is an introduction to familiar species, is available for $6.95 at the PRPC Campstore.
