Researchers believe they have found the oldest tree in the world--a spruce in Sweden that has been alive for about 9,500 years.

This fun and interactive resource includes plentiful full-color photos and drawings and clear, kid-friendly discussions of tree structures, families, and foods; the interaction between trees and the wildlife that depend on them; tree and forest-related jobs and preservation, and much more. With encouragement to \"Try This,\" \"Look For,\" and \"Listen For,\" kids participate in 30 hands-on activities that promote observation and analysis, writing and drawing, math and science, and nature literacy skills. They will measure the circumference of a tree trunk, press and preserve leaves, study the textures of tree bark, find evidence of forest creatures, record their findings in a decorated forest logbook, and more. Readers from any region will start to take notice of the trees around them--not just in forests and woods but also around the schools, parks, buildings, and sidewalks of their town, and in their own backyards. Useful resources include a glossary of \"tree terms,\" common and scientific names, a list of tree and nature organizations and groups, and a teacher's guide to initiate classroom discussion and investigation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\" \u003ci\u003eTreecology \u003c\/i\u003eprovides an amazingly thorough overview of trees and their ecology in everyday language.
