 Join the Westchester Land Trust
and EssentialMom.com
for a reading of
The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss
Followed by a fun seed planting activity
Learn about "The Lorax", a creature who teaches the importance of taking care of the environment and the dangers of chopping down the beautiful "Truffula Trees" near his home until sadly there are none left. In the end, the greedy Once-ler who has chopped down the trees recounts the story to a little boy and reveals that he has one last Truffula seed left which he gives him to start a new forest.
Children will be invited to plant a seed and decorate their seed containers to take home.
