Adopt a Tree!
The more you know about a tree, the more you can help it!
Here's how:
- Pick a tree in your yard, neighborhood, or nearby park and adopt it. You may want to look for a tree that needs special attention or care.
- Find out what kind of tree it is by checking a tree guide or asking a tree specialist
- Start a tree journal
- Sketch a picture or take a photo of your tree
- Collect needles, leaves, flowers, fruit, nuts or fallen tree bark (do not peel bark off trees!) from your tree.
- Create a leaf rubbing! Place a piece of paper over a leaf, and rub the sides of a pencil against the paper.
- Visit your tree at least once a week and record your observations (wildlife in and around the tree, leaves changing color, new leaves, broken branches, etc.)
- Get your friends to adopt and care for a tree, too!
