EDISTUPageTheIdeas for Exploring Outdoors!Plant a treeSpring is a great time for planting trees. You canplant a tree in your yard or take part in a treeplanting program in your community. Remember,it’s not just about getting the tree into the ground.Young trees need to be cared for so they canbecome well established and grow to be maturetrees. Mature trees offer comforting shade on asummer day. They also trap pollutants within theircells as they grow, cleaning the air.The United Nations has declared 2011 the International Year of Forests.Adopt a TreeThere are many millions of trees across New YorkState—in our forests, parks and yards, and lining ourstreets. Adopt a tree by keeping an eye on it throughthe changing seasons. Write your observationsdown and compare what you see season-to-seasonand year-to-year. Go to the Conservationist for Kidswebsite for an “Adopt a Tree” recording sheet or useyour own sheet to:v List signs of wildlife – birds, squirrels, etc.v List signs of invasive species – emerald ashborer, Asian longhorned beetle, etc.v Sketch your tree in different seasons, or takea series of photosv Make rubbings of the bark and leavesv Record what kind of tree it is and how big it isThis publication has been funded by I LOVE NEW YORK.

How green are you? How did you become green? These are great questions to pose whentalking with your students about Earth Day (annually on April 22) and Arbor Day (annually in New York State on the lastFriday in April). Being green may include recycling, composting, cutting down on consumption, making non-motorizedtransportation choices, carpooling, or choosing public transportation. It can also include visiting parks and natural areaswhen deciding how and where to spend our leisure hours. Being green means being mindful of the effects our choiceshave on the environment every day, whether locally, regionally, nationally or globally.For many, the path to being green involved someone showing the way—a mentor. Mentors help us to make wise choices,first guiding us and then sending us to discover new truths for ourselves. Consider with your students who their mentorsand role models have been as they make green choices. Who is the greenest person they know? Is this person someonethey look up to and learn from about how to make green choices for themselves?In 2010, I LOVE NY initiated the Green Heart NY program to showcase green tourism in New York State. As part of thateffort, they began an annual contest to name the Greenest NYer. From submissions and nominations reviewed by a panelof contest judges, a New York State resident is selected to serve for one year. The recipient is named on or around EarthDay each year. Through this issue of Conservationist for Kids, we introduce the first Greenest NYer (2010), Kaity Tsui,and the Green Heart NY program. The contest rules stipulate that nominees must be at least 21 years old, so fourth gradestudents are ineligible to win. To participate, they are encouraged nominate someone who has motivated them to “gogreen.” Contest rules can be found at www.iloveny.com/green on I LOVE NY’s website. Nominations will be acceptedin March and early April.
