Because I KNOW you miss quizzes....
Jun. 26th, 2008 10:09 am...and because maybe this will enthuse the marvelous Nancy into taking up the project again.
I bring you: A QUIZ ABOUT TREES. Seven questions, take your best shot.
1. California is home to some pretty old trees, including the world’s oldest continuous standing tree aptly named “Methuselah.” What species of tree is Methuselah?
2. What Dr. Seuss character claimed he “speaks for the trees?”
3. In the 17th century, King James II decided to revoke the earlier charters of American colonies. One colony safeguarded theirs by hiding it in an oak tree. What colony (or state) was this?
4. Who wrote “The Giving Tree?”
5. Which of the following is not considered a hardwood?
Walnut
Redwood
Oak
Balsa
6. In "The Little Prince," the title character spends lots of time pulling up trees growing on his home planet. What kind of trees are these?
7. The Arbor Foundation is headquartered in the glorious state of Nebraska. Which is kind of funny, because so much of Nebraska is devoid of trees. No matter, on to our trivia question: In what month does Arbor day fall?
ETA: I guess I should screen entries.
