Activity 7: Words to Live By
Throughout history people have seen forests in different ways, for example, as obstacles to agricultural progress, as havens for recreation and wildlife, and as a source of income from wood products. The writings of different authors reflect the views of their time periods, as well as their own personal feelings toward forests. In this activity, your students can express their own views about forests, and then can explore different perspectives by reading excerpts from the writings of different authors.
