The logging industry contributes more than $7.7 billion to Maine s economy, and now teachers are learning how important our forests are to the state s economy.
The Maine Timber Research and Environmental Education Foundation is giving a group of teachers a four-day tour of Maine s forest-based businesses. The goal is to have them see first-hand how forestry works, from planting trees to harvesting them, and about all the jobs available in the field in hopes they will share their lessons with students.
The @Maine TREE is hosting a 4-day teachers’ tour, to have them see how the $7.7B logging industry works in Maine. From planting, to harvesting, to job opportunities. The hope is for them to teach it to their students. I’ll take you to the woods tonight at 5 on @newscentermaine. pic.twitter.com/Hfqvrmdo4J Hannah Yechivi (@hannahyechiviTV) July 15, 2021
