Products from a Sustainable Forest

For Teacher's Use Indoors

Background:

Many of us do not realize how many items we use every day have their origin in the forest. The paper you write on, the pencil you write with, the rayon in the clothes you wear, the film in your camera, and much of the furniture in your home are directly or indirectly made from trees.

The Products From A Sustainable Forest program is designed for grades 5 to 6 to demonstrate how sound forest management will continually produce quality forest products while maintaining our present standard of living. Students will learn the value and the diversity of products which come from our forests.

To ensure everyone has equal opportunity to access the education for awareness of sound forest management the following program has been designed. 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 complex. Within this program there will be some information provided and lesson plan ideas with activities for your class to do.
