Answers: Are we running out of trees? |
| Description of Resource: |
Earth
Answers is a wonderfully structured pamphlet explaining what you
need to know regarding the question, "Are we running out of trees?"
Humans are part of the balance in nature, and it is through forest
management that we are able to harvest trees for paper products
and maintain a productive forest. Some forests are planted exclusively
for harvesting the trees for paper while others are preserved for
wildlife and recreation. Learn about sustainability practices as
well as forests that are unsustainable. In addition, Earth Answers
includes cross curriculum learning such as math and history as well
as assessing the students through a Green Quiz. |
