We have four more leaves to add to your collection: sassafrass, dogwood, chestnut (variety unknown), and elm. Print out these leaf rubbings to make flash cards, color them in (go crazy on the color or stick to our notes on their typical fall colors) and see if you can match them in to the trees around you. Right click the image to save and print or click here to print.
The first page of leaves can be found here.

We may not get the prettiest leafscape this fall, but the trees that are changing are magnificent. Did you know the colors of leaves are one helpful way to learn tree identification? Over the next few days we’re posting some common tree leaves and what type of tree they are. Print them out and make flash cards, color them in (any color you’d like) and see if you can match them in the wild. Right click the image to save and print or click here to print.
