Leaves of Greenbelt poster (updated).

My husband, Owen, has recently developed an interest in tree identification. He collected fall leaves in the Greenbelt North Woods, scanned them, printed out the images, and then traced the outlines and veins on tracing paper.

We did our best to identify the leaves, but if you have any corrections or suggestions, please let us know in the comments below. (Update 1: This version is edited to include the correct botanical name of the Chestnut Oak and some clarification on the Sugar Maple leaf. Update 2: This version has an updated discussion of pine needles, and the longer pine needles have now been identified Pitch Pine needles, instead of Loblolly Pine.)
