NREC Online Lesson - Products from a Sustainable Forest
For Teacher's Use Outdoors
Background:
The following program, Products from a Sustainable Forest, is designed for grades 5 to 6, and is a teacher's guide for educating students about how sound forest management will continually produce quality forest products, maintaining our present standard of living.
The program is based on the education programs delivered by the Natural Resources Education Centre in Nova Scotia, Canada. Our goal is to allow you, the teacher to give your students the opportunity to experience our education programs without actually taking the field trip to our facility. We are aiming to give you the opportunity to take your students outdoors yourself and provide them with the same experience.
