Is the tree in your yard a conifer or deciduous? Does it have leaves with smooth margins or needle-like leaves? The Arbor Day Tree Guide helps figure it all out.

In spite of rain on May 21st, Liz Riter with the Powder River Conservation District (PRCD), Shanna Talcott and Corey Swenson with Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and Elizabeth Emeline with the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) taught the 4th grade students how to identify trees. A video was watched and some examples were displayed to show students how to recognize different parts of a tree.

Branches of different trees were brought into the classroom and the clues were followed in the Arbor Day Guide until each one was identified. The students got really good at finding the clues so they could quickly identify each tree.

Students in the 4th Grade include Justin Aye, Shaylee Bilbrey, Logan Capp, Kyler Day, Caty Emmons, Tabitha Escott, Kassie Hagedorn, Ashton Madsen, Macyn McDowell, Kordell Schonenback, Syriah Sutton, and Laney Williams.
