List of State Trees

A list of state trees can be used in teaching children about the wide variety of trees that grow within the 50 States. Each state's legislature chooses a tree (or in some cases trees) because of its importance in that state. Hawaii has the only state tree that is not indigenous to the state.

Start a leaf collection from your list of state trees.

Teacher's can use the following ideas to help children learn about the various states' trees:

• Flash Cards
• Fill in the blank worksheets
• Coloring pages
• Notebooking
• Visit each state's web page to learn why and when a particular tree was selected
• Collect leaves, twigs and fruits of the state trees for a unique forestry project
