Center Street Westminster, MD 21157 FALL GUIDE 2019 TREE-mendous TREES! Trees come in many shapes and sizes, may be young to old and include many different species. Take a minute to think of all the changes in the world that occurred during the life of a tree. Wouldn’t it be great if you could learn more by communicating directly with a tree? While we value all the many trees in Carroll County, this Fall we are highlighting some TREE-mendous ones in our parks. Even better, children will be able to visit these trees in person and ask them questions by email (TREE mail) such as “What kind of tree are you?”, “How old are you?”, “How do you like living in a park?” and “What was the world like when you were planted?” or send them special messages. Visit us online this Fall at ccrecpark.org and on Facebook to learn more about this fun opportunity for young children.
