With fall quickly approaching, trees are beginning to change colors and will soon drop their leaves. Trees are very beautiful this time of year which makes it the perfect time to really focus and learn about trees. While we will focus on trees in the fall and the changing colors of the leaves, we will talk about how a tree changes throughout the seasons, as well as talk about trees that don’t change colors, like evergreens. Have fun!
