By: Doubletree Hotels Equipped with forest-green ribbons and eco-friendly tree tags in hand, 10,000 students in more than 150 communities will take part in a month-long initiative to raise awareness about the importance of trees through the Doubletree Hotels (http://doubletree1.hilton.com/ The tree-focused movement is taking root in the home state where Arbor Day began. Students from the Grace Abbott Elementary School in Omaha, Nebraska were among the first to participate in the many Great Community Tree Tag events. Students and teachers joined with team members from the Doubletree Hotel Omaha Downtown (http://doubletree1.hilton.com/ Now in its sixth year, the Teaching Kids to CARE (http://www.doubletree.com/ “There are so many children and adults who simply pass by the natural beauty of trees that populate their communities every day, without understanding how important trees are to our everyday survival. Our Teaching Kids to CARE spring initiative not only immerses kids in nature, it teaches them how to creatively express their appreciation for trees and their role in the environment every day,” said Dave Horton, senior vice president, brand management for Doubletree Hotels. “Everyone can identify with a game of tag. Doubletree just decided to have a little fun with it. By educating and instilling a caring attitude about the environment in children at a young age, we hope to make a positive impact for years to come.” Doubletree Hotels and the Arbor Day Foundation have worked together to develop lesson plans and education resources for participating schools and youth organizations to teach children about the various types of trees that live in their very own backyards and neighborhood parks. Using an official Tree Identification Guide from the Arbor Day Foundation, students will learn about a variety of local tree species and the methods and techniques that arborists use to identify trees across North America. In addition, they’ll explore the importance of trees in the environment, functions of each part of a tree and fun facts surrounding some of the most unique trees in the world. “The Doubletree Teaching Kids to CARE program will help thousands of kids learn about the value of trees - by actually identifying the ones that are important to them,” said Kevin Sander, corporate marketing director for the Arbor Day Foundation. “As a result of this initiative, a whole new generation of children will truly understand their important role in enhancing and improving the sustainability of our earth’s resources for years to come.” About Doubletree Hotels With a growing collection of contemporary, upscale accommodations in more than 200 gateway cities, metropolitan areas and vacation destinations worldwide, Doubletree Hotels, Guest Suites and Resorts are distinctively designed properties that provide true comfort to today’s business and leisure travelers.
