What Is Forestry: A Multi-State, Web-Based Forestry Education Program

The What Is Forestry: Connecting Communities project promotes forestry education and connects students to a greater appreciation of local and national forests and their cultural connections with communities. Through integrating activities including science, photography, arts, music, math, and Internet computer technology, students were challenged to observe and explain the forests in which they live and communicate this understanding to students in a sister school in another state. The analysis of the pre- and post-evaluations indicated that there were significant changes in student opinions about forestry.
