Forests-4-Ever

Moose Mountain has a aggressive forest management plan in the works to renew our aging forest.  Learn how Moose Mountain is planning to renew its forest through timber harvests, prescribed burns and the benefits of grazing cattle in the park.  Students (grade 5 - 8) learn about tree identification, forest surveys and harvesting practices.  Hopefully they will return to the park in years to come and see the trees they planted in this program.
