Dendrology is the study of trees, and the course has a rich tradition at NC State. For 42 years, Dr. Richard Braham, one of my mentors, developed and led the course. I took the class from him as a graduate student in 1998!
I started teaching Dendrology in Fall 2019, and love sharing trees with new classes of about 100-110 students every year. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to move the entire course online in Fall 2020. The teaching staff that fall invested many hours in creating high-quality online materials. We wanted to make available to anyone interested in learning more about trees.
