  • Hug-a-Tree & Survive
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 consists of a trained presenter—usually a search and rescue volunteer, police officer, park ranger, or similar uniformed individual—following a tightly scripted presentation that has three primary parts:
  1. An introduction (of the presenter and program),
  2. An entertaining video presentation for children, and
  3. A few practical suggestions and demonstrations.
Many children are alive today because of their experience with the Hug-a-Tree and Survive program.
