Local Tree Guidebook

Time:60min+ Difficulty:Medium  

How many different types of trees are growing in your neighbourhood? Make a Local Tree Guidebook and get to know your leafy pals a little better!

Here’s what you need:

  • Paper to take notes
  • Art supplies to decorate your guidebook
  • A camera (optional)

Here’s how to get guiding!

Step 1:

Take pictures or collect samples as you search your neighbourhood.

Step 2:

Add details to your guide to identify and really get to know these leafy neighbours of yours.

Start with questions like: How does the bark look and feel? What shape and colour are the leaves or needles? Does the tree have flowers, fruits, or nuts? Are there any insects or animals using the tree for food or shelter?

Step 3:

When you’re happy with the number of trees you’ve found, create a fun cover for your tree guide.

Step 4:

Next time you take a walk around a new area, bring your tree guide with you and try to identify the trees you see. If you find a new one, add it to the book!

  2. My favourite tree is a little green tree that has been growing since the early days and I think it’s the best tree I’ve ever seen with its roots in it but it has grown in its original form since the early year of the year when it started being a bit too much and now it is a lot bigger than that me.
