Hot 120°F
Lancaster summer temperatures can reach 120°F! Let’s learn how trees stay cool! ❄️
Sprout’s Desert Tree Survival Secrets!
Secret #1: Super Deep Roots!
Desert trees send their roots down 50 feet or more to find cool underground water!
That’s deeper than a 5-story building is tall!
Root Depth: 50+ feet!
Secret #2: Tiny Leaves!
Desert trees have small leaves or needles to lose less water!
Small leaves mean less sweating in the hot sun!
Smaller leaves = Less water loss!
Secret #3: Waxy Coating!
Desert trees have a waxy coating on their leaves like natural sunscreen!
This protects them from the burning sun!
Natural sunscreen protection!
Secret #4: Water Storage!
Some desert trees store water in their trunks and branches,
like having a water bottle inside their body!
Built-in water storage!
Build Your Own Tree Shade Fort!

- • Always have a grown-up help with setup
Tree Cooling Strategies That Work for Kids Too!
Stay in the Shade
Trees create their own shade with their leaves. You can do the same by staying under trees or building shade forts!
25° cooler in shade!
Drink Lots of Water
Trees drink water through their roots. You need to drink water too, especially when it’s hot outside!
Hydration is key!
Morning & Evening Fun
Trees are most active in the morning and evening when it’s cooler. Play outside during these times too!
Cooler times are better!
