When a tree is sick, who can we call? We call the tree detectives of course! In this program, you will become nature sleuths to uncover the secrets of the forest’s health by learning about the warning signs of trouble in our trees. Use charts to map out injured or sick trees, figure out how old they are, and and recognize what organisms rely on the trees in our park. By recognizing the warning signs, we can learn how to help a tree in need.
