Learn Forestry – a resource tool for
teachers
 Welcome to our website! When we began
the site in 1998, we were two former teachers working as forest
educators in the Southern Interior of BC (Central Okanagan-Columbia)
who had developed a number of teaching resources which we shared
with teachers via workshops. We felt there had to be an easier
way to get new, up-to-date information to teachers on
a regular basis and as a result, a partnership was formed with information
technology students at Kalamalka Secondary school in Vernon, BC. The
students designed a website to house our resources, promote
events and share student work related to forestry. The
website has grown over the years resulting in the need to
have a professional webmaster working on the site year round. We
hope that the latest addition of a newsletter, will
allow us to keep you up to date on forest education as it takes
place not only in the Okanagan-Columbia, but throughout BC as well. Our
goal is to keep the site factual, non-biased and current. Today
and in the future, we will endeavor to develop resources that
enhance and/or support the school curriculum. We hope you will
find the website a useful resource!
