     Logo for Tree Trails 

    Tree Trails is a conservation education project celebrating trees...

    The project creates an education trail focused on trees. Students actively participate in selecting trees, mapping and identifying those trees, and then immersing themselves in related topics like tree structure and function, benefits of trees, tree health, history of famous trees, and ultimately producing and participating in a service learning experience.  

    Tree Trails serves schools in the digital age with a high-tech online, easy-to-use, educationally sound project that gets kids outside and active in the environment. Tree Trails includes 10 lesson modules and provides a research-based instructional approach that integrates language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, technology and state testing measures, STAAR/TEKS, with online and outdoor activities to create learning forests at schools.

    Tree Trails curriculum materials and resources were developed by Texas A&M Forest Service in cooperation with Texas Urban Forestry Council and was supported by grants from the USDA Forest Service and Keep America Beautiful.
