Have you ever hiked through the forests of Kentucky? Created by Kentucky Educational Television, this Electronic Field Trip to the Forest "is a 60-minute overview of forest ecology and management for grades 4-8, covering topics in environmental science, life science, history, geography, and economics." The site provides online video clips of the electronic forest trip, and information about featured professionals on the trip including foresters, a wildlife biologist, an ecologist, and more. The website also offers an interactive Habitat Game, a slideshow about an attempt to save the American Chestnut, and information about forestry careers and tree products. Additionally, the site includes a Teacher's Guide, and links to several downloadable Forestry Units for students in grades 3-12.
