    This is the place where you register for the Challenge if you are a school or other group that would like to have a Be a Tree presentation during the month of May.

    We would like you to register so that your estimate will be included in our total projection of the number of kids educated during the Challenge.

    It would be a big help to us if you could find a local presenter in one of our directories and schedule your sessions directly with the presenter. Please be sure to tell us who your presenter is when you register here.

    A comment from an attendee:
    "I just wanted to tell you how terrific your presentation was! It was very interesting and informative and your enthusiasm for the program really came through!! You also gave some really helpful practical tips. I'm looking forward to next week's presentation. I'm so glad that you are going to focus on how to adapt the program for different age groups. It was a question I had. Thanks for giving us newcomers the benefit of your year's of experience with this terrific program. I did a presentation today after the webinar for my friend's 8 year old granddaughter (and yes, I made my friend, her husband and my husband take part as well). It was really fun and they all said they liked it and learned a lot. I'm looking forward to giving these presentations in the schools, libraries, etc." ~Maryellen Sullivan
