Previews:
ENVIRONMENT
Through an amazing “virtual forest” tour, information
is presented on several of the animals that make the forest
their home including: whitetail
deer, red-cockaded woodpecker, alligator,
and wild turkey. Learn which foods they prefer, where they
are located in the state, and some of their unique habits. |
PRODUCTS
Play “I Wood If I Could”
to learn about the many products made from trees. There
are over five thousand products that can be made, and every
part of the tree is used -- the solid wood, wood pulp, bark,
sugars and cellulose. In addition, many wood products are
recovered, recycled, and reused every day. |
BALANCE
Nearly two-thirds of South Carolina is covered with trees.
By practicing proper forest management we can maintain healthy
ecosystems and provide a steady supply of products. Learn
about the various stages of the
forest, which products and wildlife are found in each,
and “watch” the trees grow during each stage. |
RECREATION
Numerous
outdoor activities can be enjoyed in a South Carolina forest.
The CD’s maps contain information
about opportunities for: boating, biking, camping, canoeing
and kayaking, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, and swimming.
It also includes natural and wildlife viewing areas. |
