Science Nights

Our mission is to provide a deeper understanding of trees and incite scientific curiosity for children. Each year, local elementary schools host a science night in which different organizations present fun and educational activities which inspire children to learn more about the world around them. We have a wide range of activities for different age groups that teach the children about different parts of trees and how we study them. We are always looking for volunteers to help run these activities. ​

​

For the current science night schedule or if you need a ride, contact arjones@ucsb.edu

Tree Walks

Your Children's Trees at UCSB works with local public schools to create fun and informative guides that teach students about the trees located on their campuses.

These maps can be used to locate and identify the trees on each school’s campus. Additionally, each tree has been affixed with a metal tag featuring a barcode that one can scan using any smartphone barcode reading app to learn more about that tree using the Selectree Database. Use the app ShopSavvy or the iPhone camera to scan the QR codes.
