Activi-TREE at Belmont Habitat

We met at the Belmont Habitat for a tree identification activity. The girls learned to identify white pines, red pines, paper birch, maple, red oak, white oak, hickory, beech, and cedar trees. They also quickly became proficient at Jewelweed seed popping. Thanks to Keith Jensen and Heather Dahle for joining us, and to Keith for the great photos!
