Alaska's Forests and Wildlife (PDF 15,984 kB)

Alaska's Forests and Wildlife includes background information and activities covering: tree and forest types, tree structure, the interrelationships between living and non-living elements of forest ecosystems, food webs, the impact of glaciers and fires to forest succession, human impacts on forests, human uses of forests and forest products, and a final unit on forest conservation. The sensory awareness and field observation activity "A Forest Learning Trail" pulls it all together in an outdoor activity that will get all your students involved in studying the forest ecosystem as a whole.
