On-Line Activity

The Ice Caves has a number of trees that are typically found between 7000 and 8000 feet elevation. From the pictures of tree branches below, classify them as Evergreen or Deciduous. Hints as to the names of the trees can be found throughout the web site. Explain what Evergreen and Deciduous mean.

Before or after taking a field trip to the Ice Cave and Bandera Volcano, teachers may want to discuss with their students the type of trees that will be found here. During a field trip, compare leaves/needles found along the trail with a pintout of this page.
