www.arborday.com - Official Arbor Day site. Did you know that the USA does not have a national tree? The National Arbor Day Foundation is in the process of holding a vote for a new National Tree. Go to this site to learn about the tree candidates and to cast a vote for the tree you would like to see as our national tree. Voting deadline: midnight on April 27. (Number One School students will have the opportunity to vote with their classes. Ask your teacher for more information) |

www.geobop.com - Excellent website about State and World statistics. Includes links to a “GeoZoo” (animal facts), “PaleoZoo” (earth science, state soils, prehistory), and “Symbols”. www.treeguide.com - Interesting teachers’ guide to trees. I recommend going to “superlatives” or “tree news.” www.wisc.edu/botit/dendrology - Not a fancy website, but use it to see some pictures of trees. At the bottom of the page, choose “Access by common name”. Then click on the name of a tree to see a picture of it. Use the Back button to choose another tree. www.encarta.com - Use this encyclopedia to search for tree names. www.canfor.com/treeschool
- The Canadian Forestry Association provides lesson plans, a forestry
library, and a kids’ section for a few games and ideas about forestry.
Check out the “Kids Zone”, “Classroom”,
or the “Library.” www.forestry.about.com - Interesting site for adults, mostly. All about forestry! |
