Creating a Demonstration Forest A Handbook to Plan, Fund, Build and Effectively Use a Community Educational Resource
A demonstration forest is a small-scale version of a working forest that demonstrates techniques of forest management. It is usually a piece of land just five to ten acres that typically includes trails, outdoor classrooms, and learning stations. It can be in a state forest or county park, or on private ground, corporate property or school ground. This concept creates a powerful learning experience for visitors of all ages, making a thirty-minute walk in the forest last a lifetime!
This publication from Project Learning Tree provides step-by-step information to make a demonstration forest a reality. How to plan-how to consult with others-how to build-how to maintain- these questions and many more are addressed in this handbook. A demonstration forest is an ideal location for Project Learning Tree's activity-based curriculum which focuses on the total environment: land, air, and water.
