Teachers Learn From The Forests

Twenty-five grade school instructors are back from a four-day Redwood Region Teachers Tour, prepared to share their findings with their classes and other teachers this fall.

Sponsored by the North American Wholesale Lumber Association and the California Redwood Association, the second tour July l2-15 included trips to a publicly-managed forest, a private non-industrial forest, an industrial forest, a fishery, nature trails and a walk through a stand of preserved old growth redwoods, all in Northern California.

Teacher Sharon Stevens, sponsored by Lee Roy Jordan Redwood Lumber Co., Dallas, Tx., now has a much more favorable opinion of the lumber industry. "I witnessed good, honest people working in a very scientific way to address the problem areas in a forest - regardless of the imposed regulations," she said.

The instructors will use redwood cones, literature, videos, slides and the Temperate Forest Foundation's forthcoming CD-Rom as tools to develop lesson plans and presentations. "I will return to my school, parish and state to share this experience through teaching and workshops to create awareness of the benefits of managed forestry," said teacher Charlotte Bihm, sponsored by Gaienne Lumber Co., Opelousas, La.
