Take an interactive journey through the working forests of Georgia to learn about forest ecosystems, food webs, and life cycles, as well as forestry management processes, career opportunities, and much more. Key concepts are presented through text, images, videos, 360º tours, and interactive elements.
For more than a century, working forests have provided economic and environmental stability—and a myriad of benefits—to our state and its citizens. As Georgia continues to grow and change, it is important that we connect Georgia’s 10 million citizens (including our youngest citizens) to the 22 million acres of forestland that are critical to their survival, comfort, and progress. To accomplish this goal, GPB partnered with The Georgia Forestry Foundation (GFF) to create an interactive, educational experience for students across the state. Georgia Forests: Virtual Learning Journey is a free classroom resource designed to teach students about forest ecosystems, food webs, and life cycles, as well as forestry management processes, career opportunities, and much more. Georgia educators served as consultants on the project to ensure proper alignment to Georgia standards and to provide guidance on instructional best practices.
