Length: 35 – 40 Minutes

Join us on Arbor Day for a free tree-identifying presentation designed for kids in grades 2 – 5. After viewing a fun 3-minute video on the topic of identifying various coniferous evergreens, cuttings of trees will be discussed for their characteristics and their place on the Pinaceae family tree. Students will be able to examine specimens of these trees for needle size, shape, and placement, as well as the structure and placement of its cone. These will help determine which type of coniferous evergreen ut is and whether it is a Pine or NOT a Pine.

Goal: Encourage critical thinking and observation skills while learning a little about the taxonomy of the Pinaceae family.

Presented By: Carol Isles (horticulturalist) and Stephanie Fallica (retired primary school teacher)
