Description
This resource provides a simple, easy to organize outdoor activity which allows students the opportunity to discover and describe trees in the urban environment. Students take a walking trip around their local community; they sketch a map of one block of their local area and pinpoint all of the trees growing there on it. Using a tree key provided in class students keep a tally of trees observed in their local area. They discuss the diversity of trees found in the region.
