Forestry Activities and Games to introduce our
future forest landowners to forestry and natural resources-related concepts will be hosted at the field day by Kendra Johncock, Education Director at the Seno Center. Featured activities and games will include:

 

"Every Tree For Itself" -The children look at first a paper tree cookie and then actual tree cross-sections, in the process learning  about tree rings and what a tree needs for healthy growth.

"Greed vs Need"- Focus on renewable, sustainable, and nonrenewable resources.

"Life on the Edge" - Eco system game with Wisconsin endangered and threatened plants, mammals, birds, and reptiles

"Birds n' Worms" The children all become birds searching for food really hard to find. Illustrates
camouflage.

“How Many Bears Can Live in This Forest?"

"Oh Deer" - like rock- paper- scissors with half of the group becoming the deer heard and the other half the environment (Food, Water, Shelter).
