NASAR has been working for a couple years on updating the Hug-a-Tree program. There were plans to update the old slideshow materials with a digital version, among other things.

I haven't seen any signs of that yet, but they have added an information flyer and a Hug-a-Tree activity book.

OK, an update.

They now have a couple more documents that can be downloaded/printed out, including a syllabus and training information for anyone who wants to teach kids about Hug-a-Tree.

And they also are selling a three-DVD set to supplement the written material.

Here is a link to a book and child level PEK developed by a search and rescue dog handler.

http://www.isitandstay.com/Site/Home.html

Contains the book, an orange trash bag printed with instructions, a mirror and a whistle. The book is illustrated with pictures of CARDA (California Rescue Dog Association) search dogs.

It looks good.
Thanks for the link.
I just marked it and copied a bit of their material.
I will be checking to see if there is anything like it going on around here.
