Trees are Everywhere!

Join Pinky Jackalope as she journeys across the Smithsonian to discover trees — both outside in nature and in gardens, and even inside the museums! Whether it's a tall oak tree growing next to the National Museum of American History or a sculpture of a tree inside the National Museum of African American History and Culture, Pinky will learn what makes each tree so special to the Smithsonian and to the world!

A pink Jackalope puppet stands next to a cartoon illustration of a brown haired man playing a guitar. Surrounding them are different animals including birds, a sloth, and an agouti which is a kind of rodent.

Three Cheers for Trees

During this field trip, children will explore the amazing qualities of trees and learn how they benefit both animals and humans every day, from providing shelter and food to serving as a useful material for various objects. It's a TREE-tastic program!
