OBS

Program aimed at teaching children what to do if they become lost. The name of the program is derived from its primary message: If you're lost, stay put- hug a tree - until help arrive

OBS

Inspired by the search for nine year old Jimmy Beveridge in 1981 in southern California, and initiated by the caring heart of Ab Taylor, the Hug-A-Tree and Survive program teaches children how to survive in the woods should they become lost. The program was developed to educate children in a select few of the most basic and vital survival principles. It was specifically designed for children between the ages of 7 and 11 but can be effective with slightly younger and older children. The program derives its name from its primary message: If you are lost, stay put-hug a tree-until help arrives.
