Our earth’s forests are being depleted faster than they are being replenished. Deforestation is a major environmental issue as cities and roads have been built in areas that were once home to thriving forest ecosystems. This impacts not only the trees and plants, but also the wildlife that depend on the forest for their food. Our Forests Forever program teaches about the importance of forests. Students identify over a dozen items we use every day that come from our forests. They will also recieve their very own pine tree sapling to take home to plant.
