Kind words from our new friends at GenEarth where we teach k-12 students about environmental awareness. Right now, we’re focusing on forestry, plants, and tree identification. While looking for classroom materials, I came across the FOLO education page and just wanted to say thank you for putting this together. The students have really enjoyed learning how to identify different plants and trees and understanding the important role forests play in a healthy ecosystem. It’s been so rewarding to see them excitedly pointing out tree species in their neighborhoods and sharing what they’ve learned with their families. It’s wonderful to give them practical tools to engage with and care for the natural world, even at a young age!
As a thank you, one of my students helping me compile resources, Cassidy, suggested I pass along an article she found herself, “Tree Classification Guide & Glossary of Terms.” I’ll link it below. I always encourage my students to conduct their own research and share the information they discover as a way to inspire them to become informed and engaged environmental stewards. We used the glossary to make flashcards for a class game and she thought it might be a helpful addition to your materials here friendsofliveoaks.org/education/. If you are able to include it, would you mind letting me know? I know she would be thrilled and I’d love to show her she made a positive contribution.
All the best,
Janice and Cassidy
