Description

Celebrate Arbor Day by diving into the vital role trees play in our urban ecosystems. In this session, we’ll explore how to integrate tree-based learning into your curriculum through mapping, data collection, and observation tools like iNaturalist and iTree. Learn how trees support biodiversity, mitigate climate impacts, and connect students to broader environmental systems. With support from urban forestry experts and community partners, you’ll leave with practical strategies, digital tools, and engaging classroom activities to bring the story of trees to life on your campus.
