The importance of trees

Trees are among nature’s most important natural filters. They purify our air and water and provide shade and habitat for animals. But what do you really know about them? Can you identify different species of trees that grow in the Chesapeake Bay region? Did you know that a tree's rings can be used to determine its age and even whether certain weather events have occurred during its life? Join CBF educators, Liz and Ronnie will explain how trees improve water quality, how to identify them, and how to analyze tree rings. In the companion investigation, you can learn more about the importance of trees to the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed: https://www.cbf.org/join-us/education-program/resources/student-investigations -and-activities/index.html#trees
