Casey Trees Launches Arbor Kids

Casey Trees’ has launched a new webpage, Arbor Kids to get kids outdoors to learn about trees and their many environmental, social and economic benefits.

Although created for kids, Arbor Kids is a great resource for educators, caregivers and parents, too.

Downloadable activities include:
  • Name that Tree! Learn how to identify some of the most commonly found trees in the District.
  • Tree Benefits Scavenger Hunt. Challenge yourself and friends to find all the listed tree benefits in the shortest amount of time.
  • How Tall Is That Tree? In four easy steps, you can determine the height of any tree.
  • My Trees: A Home Inventory. Name, count and map the trees at and in front of your home.
Schools and other learning centers can also request a tree planting through Casey Trees’ Community Tree Planting program. Casey Trees provides the trees, tools and technical assistance free of charge. Students participate in a tree rally and follow up care activities, complementing existing classroom instruction.
For more information, visit the Casey Trees website.
