| Title: |
Forests Forever, Forest Resources Advanced Member's Manual |
| Description of Resource: |
Forests
Forever is a wonderful book for the advanced student who wishes
to learn about forest management and ways of protecting and using
this renewable resource wisely. Through the practice of silviculture,
a forest can be managed for specific qualities and uses. Proper
management enables us to provide an environment for wildlife and
recreation, to protect trees from disease and insect attack, to
grow trees for wood products, and to ensure water quality. The student
will learn about different forest types and the surrounding environment
including specialized forest areas designed for windbreaks, shelterbelts
and urban environments. Within each topic area are descriptions
of careers in natural resources, "EnviroQuotes", and "Tree-vial
Pursuits" to help us use our forest resources wisely. In addition,
suggested fair or science projects follow each topic area. |
