This publication furnishes information that should be useful to 4-H Club leaders 

 and members and other young people. It is intended to supplement subject- 

 matter material published by the various States and other agencies. The text 

 emphasizes getting acquainted with forest trees and forest stands and learning 

 their different values to their owners and their place in the economy of the farm 

 and the community. Practical phases of managing the farm home woodlands 

 properly are also given important consideration. The topic outlines should serve 

 as a guide and an aid in working out club projects, programs, and demonstrations 

 that will have real educational value and also prove financially profitable to many 

 voung people on farms. 



This publication supersedes U. S. Department of Agriculture Bulletin No. 683, 

 Forestry Lessons on Home Woodlands.
