Explore a neighborhood tree with a bark rubbing, a leaf or bud sketch and a clue postcard for another detective.
- Bark rubbing field sheet. Hold the large blank frame against intact bark where permitted. Rub gently with the side of a crayon, or sketch its texture.
- Leaf or bud sketch card. Sketch a leaf, bud or branch fork. Look for an edge, outline and arrangement you can describe.
- Can you find my tree?. Write clues from general to specific. Cut the card out and swap it with a partner inside your agreed search area.
Print at actual size on US Letter paper. For personal or group use. See the activity guide for setup and play.
