Tree Utah, a nonprofit dedicated to planting trees at schools, parks and open lands throughout the state, will lead a snowshoe tree tour on Feb. 29.
“It’s a fun way to see a state park in your own backyard in a new way,” Amy May, Tree Utah executive director, said.
The nonprofit plants trees year-round but because the winter time is a slow time of year it is focusing on fundraising events and preparation for the spring. “This is just a way to engage people in the wintertime in a fun healthy activity,” May said.
Hikers will snowshoe a three-mile loop in Wasatch Mountain State Park while identifying trees along the way.
