Excursion Program Overview

State forests are managed for multiple uses, including the provision of timber resources. Explore the use of forests as a source of timber for a range of uses.

Explore:

• The path taken from forest to hardware supplier
• The role of forest managers and consumers in a sustainable timber industry
• A clear felled logging coupe
• Protected Cool Temperate Rainforest
• Mountain Ash forest that has regenerated from the 1939 Black Friday bushfires

Workbooks will be provided so you can make a copy for each student to use on the day to guide their forest investigation.

What to bring: Your bus is required to accompany the program, sunscreen, clipboards, copy of worksheets for each student (or print worksheet on cardboard so there is no need for a clipboard), pens, bag to take away your rubbish.
