Drawing a tree and relating to ecological Identity:
Goal: Students will work in pairs, create their trees, share with others. Different groups will learn from others about their ideas on the relationship between ecological identity and the tree parts. This activity will helps students learn about classmates, discover new ideas from other people’s branches, and how to share this activity with our students.

Tree Structure:
-Roots: The roots of our environmental behavior: how or where we played as a child, experiences with family or friends in the distant and recent past …actions…events…mentors… positive or negative experiences… seeing wild places disturbed.
-Leaves and branches: Environmental actions (both personal and professional) you have taken: jobs, volunteerism… free time…new ways to stretch yourself… environmental actions you plan on taking.
-Trunk: The core values that you hold: the trunk connects the roots with the leaves, just as your core values connect your ‘roots’ to your actions.
