Did you know…
-
Wood is the only raw material that is at the same time renewable, recyclable, biodegradable, durable, versatile, energy efficient, and beautiful.
|
Together with the Florida Forest Service, Florida Forestry Association, Project Learning Tree of Florida, and Friends of Florida State Forests, discover first hand where products you use every day come from. Learn about environmental issues and how foresters work to meet the needs of the community and the environment while enjoying first-class luxuries. Participate in hands-on activities from the Project Learning Tree Activity Guide that will assist you in connecting what you see and learn in the field with the curricula in the classroom. (Note: Please be aware that many of these facilities are hot and humid. Also, the physical nature of the mills will include walking long distances and climbing/descending stairs and/or ladders).
