resources for Den Meetings etc: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tree
and Leaf identification in and around the Auburn Area This
is great for Tiger Dens: Here's a link you can send out to Scouters to share some
info on identifying trees and leaves around Auburn. http://www.aces.edu/pubs/docs/A/ANR-0509/ANR-0509.pdf
The Tigers have their leaf rubbing requirement coming up, and I'm sure many groups
will be taking hikes and studying the outdoors in the next few weeks. This little
guide will prove quite helpful in identifying leaves and trees in our region.
It also teaches a bit about the leaf structure and how to figure out what type
of leaf it is.
