Forestry in Your Classroom

National Forest Week takes place September 20 – 26 and we have forestry professionals all over Alberta who have volunteered to speak to students about forestry.

Who can request a presentation?

Grade 1 – 12 teachers. Presentations are great for Science and Outdoor Education classes.

Who are the presenters?

Presenters are forestry professionals and educators from across Alberta.

When can presentations take place?

Although National Forest Week runs September 20 – 26, presentations can take place any time that works for both the presenter and the school.

What do presenters talk about?

Presenters will talk about a variety of forestry topics which may include forest management, sustainability, wildfire, invasive species, careers, and tree identification. Teachers can request specific topics when booking a presentation. Some presenters may be open to taking the presentation outside if space permits.

Is there a cost for presentations?

This is a volunteer initiative, so there is no cost to schools.
