Each month, the statewide PBS network broadcasts these vignettes via satellite to 510,000 viewers in households throughout rural and urban areas across Wisconsin. The support of a school district's administration is key to any strong school forest program. Over 5,000 products are made from trees. Toothpaste, Scotch tape, aspirin, and ice cream all contain different tree parts. Trees shade our homes and office buildings and reduce air conditioning usage by up to 30 percent.
Forests are more than trees.
Recreation is just one benefit of a well-managed forest. Wisconsin's professional foresters and loggers help teach students about our forest resources. There are 411 school forests in 67 Wisconsin counties. School forests are working outdoor classrooms. All rights reserved.
