Take a moment and name as many tree species as you can.Were you able to name five, ten, or even twenty species? If you want to identify all the trees native to Ontario, you will need to name over one hundred and forty tree species.To our best guess, Ontario is a province with approximately 85 billion individual trees. That is almost 6,000 trees for every person living in Ontario! Allowing children to explore the outdoors while learning about the diversity of trees in their own neighbourhood is a natural step towards promoting plant education and helping to create forest stewards.

Given the number of tree species growing in Ontario, tree identification can be overwhelming if not approached in a systematic way. Included in this lesson plan are four activities to help your young students master tree identification. In this lesson, students will explore tree anatomy and classification and use the free Pl@ntNet app to support tree identification. Students will then have the chance to assess native and non-native trees in their local community, and plant some native trees.
