MICHIGAN FORESTS FOREVER TEACHERS GUIDE

 


CHAPTER BOOK RESOURCES

 

This website was particularly designed for Michigan teachers.  After the initial publication of the website, a number of teachers requested PDF documents of the on-line material.  While nearly all the web pages can be printed directly from an Internet browser on only a few pages, the PDF documents combine pages to better include similar topics.  Of course, “hardcopy” files are updated less often and cannot contain the dynamic page-linking of a website.  The PDF documents are also formatted similarly so that all of the website content can be downloaded for printing or digital storage.  This revision of the MFF project was funded by the Michigan Forest Foundation through a grant to MSU Extension.  Not included in these PDF documents are the on-line Internet references, keyed pages to the Michigan education standards and benchmarks, and the linked activity suggestions.

Currently (2019), these PDF documents will not be revised until the webpages are all current.
