Trees for Houston is excited to offer a tree science class for students ages 6 to 12!
In December, our focus will be dendrochronology! Trees record the story of their lives in annual growth rings. In this class, students will learn how to read the autobiographies of trees as chronicled in the rings of tree cookies.
Weather permitting, we will go on a short nature walk to the Chevron Tree Nursery, so please dress for the outdoors.
Hope you can gather with us to close the year with tree cookies and cheer!
This monthly educational series is offered free of charge due to the generous sponsorship of Centerpoint Energy.
Note: Space is limited, so please sign up only if your child can attend.
Parent Policy for Youth Education Classes
Attendance Requirement:
A parent or caregiver is required to remain on the Trees for Houston Kinder Campus during the entire hour-long class session.
Observation and Waiting Options:Parents and caregivers have the option to observe the class in action inside the Bauer Education Center. Alternatively, they may wait in the shaded pavilion outside the classroom or on the bench in the office lobby.
Supervision of Non-Participants:
If additional children are present who are not participating in the class, parents or caregivers are responsible for their supervision at all times to ensure safety. We recommend bringing a light snack or a small activity to help keep them engaged. The Kinder Campus is both a learning environment and an active workplace. We kindly ask all visitors to help us maintain the space by respecting the building and its facilities.
