| Title: |
Educational in Nature - Forests: A Forest is... |
| Description of Resource: |
The information provided in this pamphlet looks beyond just trees
to carefully examine the real forest. It provides a basic understanding
of several critical elements that comprise a forest such as; soil,
water, sunlight, rain, insects, birds and, of course, trees. Several
forest types are described. A real management scenario of a southern
forest is presented including discussion of mature stands, young forest,
streams, logging roads, wildlife, soil types, clearcutting, and tree
and shrub diversity. The information provided also includes a classroom
activity that uses maps and diagrams to help students design their
own urban forest plan. Companion material highlights the relationship
between birds and forests, focusing on habitat and food sources. Stencils
provided allow students to draw a forest of their own. Materials are
in full color and beautifully presented. |
