A Family Project: The Tree Year

Here's an idea for a family project:

”The


Participate in the tree year. Build awareness for the little things in life through seeing and enjoying the diversity and beauty of the life and colors on a tree and then share it with others.



How to start:

  1. Pick a tree – either one you like a lot or one that you see every day on your way to work or that happens to live on your balcony.

  2. Observe it: every day or once a week or less. What grabs your attention? What kind of animals are and what kind of plants grow on it? How is the bark of the tree, the leaves, the colors? What kind of bugs or birds visit it? How is the earth around it or the sky above it?

  3. Write about your observation, make sketches or take photographs and share it with us.

I'd like to add, plant your own tree and do the same.
