Maple trees are one of the most well-known trees, spanning across the northern hemisphere. The maple’s leaf is even featured on the Canadian flag! Maples belong to the family Aceraceae, and there are more than 128 species, making it an incredibly diverse and fascinating family of trees. According to fossil records, maple trees are quite ancient. They date back to at least 100 million years ago, if not even older. These trees were growing when dinosaurs roamed the Earth! Of course, not every species of maple tree survived from that time. But maples belonging to the family Aceraceae existed back then and still today.

I’m so grateful that Mr. Lyons has given me some free license with the directions I went.
