Trees and Snakes and Flints,
Oh My!
Summer is the time to explore and
discover the interesting plants, trees,
animals, and artifacts in parks, or even
in your own backyard. If you’re thinking
of planting a tree like the one you’ve
seen on your walks, or wondering if that
stone your child discovered is actually a
pre-historic flint, or if you’re concerned
about a snake that slithered through your
garden, the resources below can help. Find
these resources and more on the Library’s
website at shakerlibrary.org/research.
“What Tree is That?”
arborday.org
Whether on a stroll through the woods
or admiring a neighbor’s landscaping,
it’s fun to be able to identify different
tree species, and the National Arbor
Day Foundation has a website to make
it simple and easy. Begin by choosing
a region of the U.S., and then follow a
series of visually-oriented questions
(Are the leaves needle-like or thin and
flat? Is there a single blade or several on
a stem?), which will lead to finding the
correct species. It’s a walk in the park and
a great place for newbies to begin.
