Publisher's Synopsis
National forests are fast becoming the most visited tourist attractions in America - 300 million visitors in 1988, according to the National Parks Service, and the demand for knowledge about them is greater than ever. This book is packed with projects and activities, requiring no special tools or equipment, that add to the excitement of learning about forests; a fact-filled "walk through the woods" that separates scientific fact from popular myth and folklore; and a realistic look at the long-term future of our forests with an explanation of the major threats to their survival and their ability to adapt.
