This section provides background information and hands-on, interdisciplinaryactivities
in four areas. Students learn how the Native Americans depended
on the forest for food, water and resources and how their culture
evolved over time. As the New World was settled, the American pioneers
needed to rely on the fores for their own survival. We will look at
how these two historical groups affected Pennsylvania's forestlands.
Many people and events have shaped our move toward conservation
and stewardship. Students will learn about some of the main players
in Pennsylvania's history. Finally, students have an opportunity to
make decisions on the development of a piece of land. They
will see how their decisions impact the community both environmentally
and economically.
