Welcome to Lancaster's Secret Underground Kingdom!
Hey there, young tree explorers! Have you ever wondered what's happening beneath your feet in Lancaster? Well, Sprout has made the most AMAZING discovery - there's an entire underground kingdom of tree roots working together like a busy city!
In Lancaster's desert climate, tree roots are like underground superheroes, working extra hard to find water and nutrients. Today, we're going on a special underground adventure to explore this hidden world and learn how we can help our tree friends stay healthy and strong!
Amazing Root Fact!
Did you know that tree roots can spread out 2-3 times wider than the tree is tall? That means a 20-foot tree in Lancaster might have roots spreading 60 feet underground!
