Description: 

In the Project Learning Tree module The Changing Forest: Forest Ecology, students examine a forest's ecological systems, analyze interdependencies within a forest ecosystem, and explore factors, like fire, that shape development of forests. In addition, they develop critical-thinking skills and discover the importance of scientific analysis when making decisions about forest issues. To receive a copy of the guide, attend a PLT workshop.
