Talk About Trees

Posted on: March 10, 2017

Talk About Trees is a statewide forestry education program through Oregon Forest Resources Institute.  The purpose of the program is to increase student’s knowledge and awareness of forestry and related issues, including the life cycle of trees, forest health, trees as a natural resource, forest as habitat for animals, and careers in forestry. Programs are presented by experienced facilitators and offered free to classrooms throughout Oregon.

The fourth grade classes participated in Papermaking through this program.  Each child was able to make and keep their own piece of paper.  The students had a great time!
