Or just want to stare at trees, walk around the beautiful Stanford campus and forget about life for a while? This course will draw on the current Stanford Introductory Seminar “Party With Trees” for Stanford students and translate the main objectives and ideas of the course into a middle school and high school student friendly course that consists of walking around Stanford's campus, looking at trees, learning some basic identification, potentially snacking on some fruit, and having a good time. Another goal of the course is to foster a greater understanding and appreciation for the environment around us and add to students' knowledge of trees in the Stanford, Palo Alto, and general California area.
