Description
Teach kids how to identify trees, plants, and insects that grow and live in our backyards and in our forests. I stress the importance of getting to know our woods by taking time to stop, listen, taste, and notice things as small as a tiny mushroom all the way up to a tall Grand Fir tree that reaches high into the sky. I enjoy teachers and their students outside on field trips but also love brining nature to the classroom by sharing treasures I've collected while working for the Forest Industry and Regional Parks. In my presentation, I stress the importance of balancing harvesting, fire management, pest management, and propoer preservation of wildlife and parks.
