On a cold and clear January afternoon, 17 families gathered in a local, downtown Ithaca park, to read stories and celebrate the trees. There were two PJ Library children's books about Tu b'Shevat posted on the trees in the park. Parents and children walked from tree to tree reading the stories. There was a scavenger hunt that encouraged careful observation to identify the trees in the park. There were snacks and lots of socializing. Also - there was tree climbing.
