Developed in partnership with the Georgia Forestry Foundation, Georgia's Forests Live Exploration took students on a journey through the #1 forestry state in the country. Students learned about the life cycle of a tree, uncovered a myriad of forestry products, and explored what it takes to manage a sustainable working forest. During the program, students participated in pop quizzes and Q&As with forestry experts.
