Forest ecosystems of Canada

Educational materials for teachers

The Association forestière Québec métropolitain has developed, in cooperation with the Canadian Forest Service of Natural Resources Canada, educational material entitled for high school teachers:

Teaching handbook Making connections with the forest

This handbook establishes a link between the Forest Ecosystems of Canada Web site and the Quebec curriculum for Science and Technology, Geography (1^st cycle), Canadian Geography and General Biology (2^nd cycle).
