Into the Outdoors Lessons Launch

January 2025

During Forest Product Month in October 2024, Into the Outdoors aired four new episodes to celebrate the importance of forests and forest products in our lives.

LEAF created 10 lessons to support the Forest Products and Wood Education episodes. Lessons include everything synonymous with a typical LEAF lesson: background information, connections to Wisconsin State standards, detailed instructions and engaging activities, and suggestions on how to use the lessons with students outside the designated grade band.
