This year my family did a year-long tree study. According to the Handbook of Nature Study, we picked a tree in the fall and studied it –what do the leaves look like? Does it have fruit/nuts? If so, what are they? We studied the same tree in the winter and spring. We got to know this tree well and saw it change through the seasons.
We read about trees in general as well as individual species in our area. Trees weren’t our only nature study topic this year, but we did dedicate a few weeks of the season solely to this study.
Here are the books we used and loved!
