  • Volume 7: the Boreal Forest TEACHING
    TEACHING KIT Volume 7: The Boreal Forest National Forest Week 2006: September 24 to 30 The Canadian Forestry Association is pleased to announce that after careful consultation and consideration, in 2006 National Forest Week will move from spring to fall. Based on a 100-year legacy of facilitating forest education, the CFA believes this new approach will spur increased year-round learning opportunities for interested Canadians. Trends show that early education is key to capturing and fostering the interest of youth towards volunteerism, higher education and careers in the forest and environmental sectors. Developing the forestry leaders of tomorrow is critical to ensuring sustainability of our natural resources and the socio-economic and health benefits they provide for all Canadians. Integral to this learning process is the Canada's Forests Teaching Kit series, which has become the cornerstone of CFA’s education and outreach initiatives. Available free to educators, these kits provide tools for helping youth better understand the value of forest resources and the importance of using them wisely. Beginning in 2006, the annual kit publication date will change to coin- cide with National Forest Week each September. This is in response to overwhelming feedback from teachers across Canada indicating a strong preference to receive these materials at commencement of the school year for increased and enhanced integration into teaching plans and other outreach activities. In keeping with tradition, I invite you to join the CFA in celebrating Canada’s forests — in September and year-round: plant a tree, walk through a forest or learn about forest management. Your local forestry association can provide more ideas, teaching materials and information about forest activities in your area.
