Adopt a Tree

Martha C. Monroe, Christopher J. Frost, and Alison W. Bowers

The Forestry Adopt - A - Tree 4-H Project Book (4HFOM11) is for children ages 5-8. Kids locate and "adopt" a nearby tree, track changes to it over time, do bark and leaf rubbings, and search for visiting wildlife. Youngsters are also introduced to three common and special Florida trees: Cabbage Palm, Live Oak, and Longleaf Pine.

Visit the 4-H Youth Development Curriculum Website [13 December 2012] for more information on related project materials.

This (pdf file only - 2.05mb) enables you to print a black/white version of the 29-page booklet.
