Hug A Tree program trains kids to stay with a tree
Frederick County elementary students will learn survival routines from Maryland State Police troopers. Troopers Scott McCauley and Doug Lowry explain that when lost in the woods a child should hug a tree and stay put to aid locating teams. They note the risk of widening the search by walking and stress remaining near the tree. The program, created after a San Diego incident in 1981, aims to teach simple, effective actions for child safety.
