Start a conversation about the importance of teaching sustainable practices to your students.
Forestry is one of the most important industries in Canada, but sustainable forestry management practices are key for protecting the nation’s natural resources. Grade 8 students are the perfect age to start teaching sustainability practices in forestry. In this lesson students will read about Canada’s commitment to sustainable forest management and why it is so important.
Teaching forestry sustainability is an important task. Not only is it important for teaching students how to be responsible stewards of their environment, but it is necessary for helping the nation as a whole to develop sustainable practices for harvesting natural resources. With the right knowledge and resources, teachers can guide their students in learning about forestry sustainability and help them understand why it’s important.
Now it’s your turn. Share these lessons with your students and see what ideas they come up with for developing sustainable forests on a mountain slope, next to a volcano and next to a river.
