Sustainable Forestry Tour
for Teachers and Counselors

June 22-25, 2010

Through the Sustainable Forestry Tour educators immerse themselves in the social, economic and ecological aspects of sustainable forestry. Once the educator arrives at the tour, s/he is treated as a VIP!
They are immersed in sustainable forestry issues with valuable information and concepts to bring into their classrooms and counseling offices. During the 3-day program, educators may visit private, state and federal forests; tour a sawmill, paper mill, and seedling nursery; see an active timber harvesting operation, walk in forest stands of differing ages, see a firefighting demonstration and visit an ancient cedar grove.
Throughout the tour, they learn directly from the natural resource professionals who care for our forests, and those who provide products we all use every day. Educators leave with abundant information and resources to explore sustainable forestry and related careers with their students.
