Field Trip Ideas to Learn About TreesNeighbourhood parks and forests are a great place to practice your tree identification skills (not to mention climbing skills - if allowed).An arboretum is a place that has many specimen trees, and usually includes signs identify the trees name (very helpful when you're practicing identifying and want to know if you're right.) Champion trees are very old and large, and have usually shown some interesting genetics to last so long. Efforts are often made to make clones of these trees because of their qualities. Check out California and Florida for their old trees. Tree IdentificationWe could identify many of the trees in our area, but when we started trying to name all the trees, we were surprised how many we weren't sure about. OK - we didn't have a clue. No that's not true. We had many clues, we just had to learn how to read them. Would you like some help looking identifying some trees you've found?
