Forest tours are the best way to show educators the dynamics of the forest products industry and help them educate their students about forest resources and their future choices. Sponsorships are $300 plus participant travel costs. To maximize the impact of the tour, we especially seek participation by teachers and counselors from population centers. We will match you with an educator who has applied to attend the tour, or you may nominate a specific educator. Sign on to be a sponsor below or send the printable form by 3/31/10. Sponsors accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
