In this hands-on program, Girl Scout Cadettes become naturalists-in-training as they explore the life cycles of trees and learn to identify species common to Ohio.
Through investigating a few of the many tree varieties at the Cleveland Botanical Garden, Cadettes will discover the ways in which trees are important to our lives, and how they can help trees to thrive. Each Girl Scout will be given the Trees Girl Scout badge upon completion of the program.
