Seeing the Wood for the Trees: Introduction to Sustainable Forestry | Lesson Plan

In this lesson, created to support the video Forests: The Stuff of Life, students interact with Google Earth to identify forests that have been logged selectively versus those that have not. They also learn how to distinguish the appearance of forestry methods in satellite images. Outdoors, students create a comprehensive list of the tree species in their own neighborhoods or local parks.
