Do you have a favourite tree in your neighbourhood? Maybe it’s in your local park and you like sitting in its shade to enjoy a book or a picnic. Or it grows right outside your window and birdsong wakes you up in the morning. Do you have a memory of a lovely fall day, walking past a row of trees with leaves crunching beneath your feet? Or maybe you love trees the most in wintertime, when they’re blanketed in snow and decorated with sparkling holiday lights.
Discover the magic of trees through art! We hope you found inspiration&nbsp;in our Summer Wonder online programs&nbsp;to explore&nbsp;nature through hands-on activities.&nbsp;You can still go on nature walks in different seasons.
