Focus on Forestry with Brittany

“Gold is a luxury. Trees are necessities. Man can live and thrive without gold, but we cannot survive without trees.” 

- Paul Bamikole

Storytime - “Lucy Meets A Logger” by Stephanie Fuller

Participants will listen to the story, discuss what they learned, and share their favorite parts of the story. Logging is a necessary practice to secure the sustainability of our products that come from trees.

Goods From the Woods - Participants will explore everyday products that are created from trees and tree products.  

Every Tree For Itself - Participants will model how trees compete to meet their essential needs for growth and describe how varying amounts of sunlight, water, and nutrients affect tree growth. This information will be used to guide discussion about the importance of forest management so each tree gets what it needs to be strong and healthy.
