Trail of Trees Comes
to the City of Orlando
|
WHAT: |
Children may
find themselves singing tree songs or laughing
along to tree imitations at the free
presentations of “The Trail of Trees.” This
special program featuring Tim Womick for
children of all ages and their families is
sponsored by the City of Orlando, Florida Urban
Forestry Council, Orange County 4-H, and the
Orlando Museum of Art. This first come, first
served free show will be performed on two dates,
first at the Orange County Extension Auditorium
on Wednesday, January 20 and then again at the
Orlando Museum of Art on Friday, January 22.
This fast-paced and highly animated program
is "performance art" that brings up to a dozen
students on stage to become part of the
act—perhaps in song, tree imitations, and plenty
of comic relief. Participants will hear about
tree biology basics, learn the value of trees,
why we should plant more trees and are
encouraged to learn to care for the trees where
they live. Jump-starting students' imagination
about the world around them, making learning
more relevant to them is the program's desired
outcome.
