CONSERVATION FOR BEGINNERS SERIES

About 30 frames each Sale 



Appreciation of what conservation means begins in the primary 

 grades, and these stories highlight the facts of major importance in 

 understanding just what is included in any consideration of con- 

 servation problems. 



SONNY SQUIRREL AND THE PINE TREES 

 Destruction of forest trees can mean loss of food and home to 

 our animal friends. This can be avoided if we learn how to cut trees 

 as needed, without totally destroying areas needed if animal life is 

 to continue. 



THE DEER AND THE HAYSTACK 



Winter hardships force the deer to turn to man for food and care. 

 Man must, therefore, take steps to protect animal life during periods 

 of seasonal change and lack. 



A PICNIC FOR DICK AND HIS FRIENDS 

 Here we see how important it is for everyone to follow safety 

 rules for forest preservation, to clean up after picnics, and to ob- 

 serve all safety regulations. 



THE LAMP AND THE BLUEBELLS 



Soil erosion can mean loss of food for sheep and other animals 

 who graze on our hillsides. We must see to it that our hills are cared 

 for, and soil provided to hold vegetation necessary for animal food. 



SUSAN AND THE FOREST FIRE 



One little girl watches a forest fire and learns about the rules 

 we must observe if such fires are to be prevented. A good story 

 about a basic situation faced in forest conservation. 



THE MUDDY RAINDROPS 



Water is necessary for plant growth but too much water can 

 wash away precious soil. This time we are introduced to methods 

 of controlling and preventing erosion by water. 



AUDIENCE: Specifically designed for grades 1 to 3
