The
Talking Tree, a delightful introductory presentation for
young children, addresses how trees and people are dependent
on each other and emphasizes why we must plant and help care
for trees. The Talking Tree is geared to children preschool
through kindergarten in individual classes.
The Lessons
The classroom part of the the Talking
Tree program engages students in exploring the importance
of trees in their world. A costumed naturalist leads them
through a series of interactive lessons that help them learn
how trees are important to humans and animals, how they are
similar to and different from trees, and how they can help
trees and the environment.
The guided nature walk, which is an integral
part of all Talking Tree Field Trips, takes students
on a sensory and vocabulary journey through the old growth
forest to learn about plant and tree diversity. Programming
space is limited and dates are filling up quickly so please
register as early as possible.
Fees
Talking Tree Field Trip: $50/class (60
minutes)
Talking Tree Classroom Visit: $40/class (30 minutes)
