Passport to the Forest
All educators are invited to participate in a mobile conservation education program offered by personnel of the Zigzag Ranger District of Mt. Hood National Forest. The program is being offered on Wednesdays during the 2010-2011 school year. The “Passport” is a mobile conservation education trailer focusing on four main subject areas: Botany, Hydrology/Fisheries, Wildlife, and Geology. It can be set up either in a classroom, outside (weather permitting), or in a large multipurpose area within your school. Similarly, the “Passport” can be set up with all four subject areas or individually to focus on one particular subject matter. At the present time lesson plans are primarily designed for 2nd – 7th graders. All lesson plans are hands on, interactive, and designed with fun in mind to allow children to explore the natural world around them in a non-traditional classroom setting. For booking and more information please visit www.fs.usda.gov/mthood/ (click on “learning center”) or call/email Lawson Reif at 503-622-2033/lreif@fs.fed.us
