CCFOR12.3 Timber Stand Improvement, Forestry Complete Curriculum

Take the stress out of Sunday night, by having your lesson planning done for you. Feel confident in front of your class because this curriculum includes everything that you need to engage your students and teach to the standard.

Best of all, no expertise or prior knowledge in Forestry is required. 

This lesson is on timber stand improvement and covers the purpose of TSI and how it differs from pre-commercial thinning, cull tree removal, crown class, shade tolerance, keep/cull decisions, and types of TSI.

The included lab activity introduces your students to Timber Stand Improvement in a way that helps them understand that thinning is more than just cutting a specified number of trees. They will apply decision making skills in an entertaining stand simulation activity. 

It is aligned to the National AFNR Standards for Natural Resources and the Georgia Curriculum Standards for Forestry Science.
