SUMMARY:Earth Day | The Wonder of Trees
DESCRIPTION:Forests play a central role in the well-being of our ecosystems. They sustain biodiversity\, benefit our climate\, and support human well-being. This Earth Day\, join Grace Farms for a day of family-friendly activities celebrating the wonder of trees and encouraging us all to take part in forest conservation. \nSpring Tree Walks\nExperience the beauty of flowering trees in the spring and learn how to identify them as Laura Green from Yale’s School of Forestry and Environment points out the more than 50 species of trees on site at Grace Farms. \nPainting Trees\nDiscover the joy of painting nature and wildlife with coloring pages from artist Betsey Fowler. \nThe Flourishing Life and Trees\nIn addition to being a critical part of our ecosystem\, trees are also an important religious and cultural symbol. Join Dr. Matthew Croasmun\, Faith Initiative Director\, and Katie Grosh\, Faith Initiative Coordinator\, to explore the importance of living in balance with nature. \nFind the Lines\nMeander through the black locust grove and find lines in the landscape.
