Tree-mendous Discoveries: A Junior Dendrologist Adventure
Unleash your child's inner scientist at JC Raulston Arboretum's "Budding Explorers: Tree-mendous Discoveries"! Designed for young minds aged 8-10, this engaging program invites children and their accompanying adult to delve into the fascinating world of trees. Discover how these magnificent plants grow, transport water, and create their own sustenance through captivating activities and hands-on experiments.
Explore the diverse world of leaf shapes and bark textures, while uncovering the vital roles each part of a tree plays in our ecosystem.
