SECOND YEAR — FOREST APPRECIATION 



Forest appreciation may be elected by boys and girls who have completed the 

 tree-planting project and who have reached their thirteenth birthday but not 

 their nineteenth birthday at the time of enrollment. 



Purposes 



The purposes of this project are to give the boys and girls: 



1. An appreciation of the importance of the forest to agriculture and in- 

 dustry. 



2 A thorough knowledge of the forest trees of their locality. 



3. A knowledge of the relative value of those trees in producing crops of 

 timber. 



Requirements 



1. Identify at least fifteen forest trees found in your locality. 



2. Learn the chief uses of these trees. 



3. Make a collection of leaf, fruit, and winter twig of each of the trees iden- 

 tified. The twig, the leaf, and the fruit of each tree is to be mounted and la- 

 belled with the common name and the most important use of the tree. These 

 collections are to be sent to the Department of Forestry by June 15 for cor- 

 rection and grading. 



4. Write a brief story of at least 250 words telling how the forest is of value 

 to your community. This should be sent in with the mounted specimens of 

 leaves and twigs.
