For those teachers who live near forests of any type, this multidisciplinary unit will engage students in hands-on investigations that can be done on school property. Although much of the described technology is outdated, the ideas presented in this article can be easily modified. The described activities would make an excellent fall or spring unit capable of tying in math, science, and language arts and meeting many common core standards in the process.
