![]() ![]() ![]() So imagine our delight when we discovered the best-selling book The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate by Peter Wohlleben. Then there’s the historic Charter Oak on our hunt in Hartford, Connecticut, and an ancient mulberry tree outside a historic house on our Annapolis hunt, and…we could go on. On the Babson College campus outside of Boston, teams must locate an apple tree that descends from the very tree Isaac Newton sat under when falling fruit prompted his “eureka!” moment. In another Washington Square in New York City’s Greenwich Village, our hunt points out the “Hangman’s Elm,” which legend (inaccurately) says helped execute criminals back in colonial times. In Philadelphia’s Washington Square, we send hunters in search of the tree that grew from seeds that traveled into space and back with an Apollo mission. That’s just one of the reasons we love to feature trees on our outdoor scavenger hunts. ![]() ![]() Mother Nature’s masterful sculptures are right by the curb or the park bench, but they are so often and so easily overlooked. You don’t have to head to a museum to see an impressive work of art. ![]()
