About the Program
Attune to the life of trees in an exploration into the special life of these gentle giants and how important they are to us. We will learn about the life cycles of trees and students will adopt a tree and explore the special connection we have with them.
This is a field trip and bussing will be necessary if there is not a local habitat to explore. We would be taking the class to a forest nearby.
