Theme: Birds, Critters, And Trees - Managing Forests, Helping Wildlife
This program provides
opportunity for students to learn "about" the forest
while actually "in" a forest. It demonstrates for
students that environmental friendly, sustainable forest
management can
provide quality habitat for birds, fish, and
wildlife and provide forest products for our use and
comfort. Topics include creation of wildlife habitat and
fisheries enhancement, the soil cycle and oxygen cycle, the
growth of trees, tree predators, and forest management
techniques. This program was developed in cooperation with
the Clark County Farm Forestry Association, and the cost is
underwritten in part by them. The program especially
