Teach your children about nature with our A-Z (almost) tree identification sheet!

The following activity is reproduced from our partner, The Parks Trust’s website.

Did you know that trees are the biggest plants on the planet and the longest living species? Trees are essential for our survival. They provide us with oxygen, soak up carbon dioxide, provide a home to wildlife and prevent flooding.

How many different tree species can you find in the area around Fairfields and Whitehouse?

From the comfort of the back garden or a window, or whilst taking daily exercise, use The Parks Trust worksheet to help you identify what trees are in the local area.

In addition, the BBC provides resources for showing you how to measure how much carbon the trees around you store. See their classroom resources and film for how to capture and record this information.
