Sustainable Forestry Tour
for Teachers and Counselors
June 24-27, 2009
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. During the 3-day program, educators may visit private, state and federal forests; tour a sawmill, plywood mill, paper mill, and seedling nursery; visit a fish hatchery; see an active timber harvesting operation, walk in managed forest stands of differing ages 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.
