Sag Harbor Students Writing Book About Trees

SAG HARBOR, NY — Students in Sag Harbor, inspired by their love of nature, are busy writing a book about trees.

The fourth graders, who have been learning about the critical role trees play in the environment, have been working together on the project in Jeff Reed's class.

The book aims to include information about 22 species of trees that can be found in the community.

Students researched and compiled information on each tree, including its economic use, Latin name, medicinal uses, and geographic and identification information, a release said.
