Local Tree Guidebook

Time:60min+ Difficulty:Medium  

How many different types of trees are growing in your neighborhood? 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 neighborhood.

Step 2:

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

Start with questions like: How does the bark look and feel? What shape and color 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!

What’s your favorite kind of tree? Let us know in the comments below!
