Michigan SAF has about 5 copies the video “Foresters: Growing Forests for our Future” in VHS format. These are available for use by anyone who would like to tell our story about forestry and foresters. On-line formats available from the National Office.

The description of the video is as follows:

Video Growing Forests for Our Future (14 min.)
This energetic, dynamic, and entertaining video presents an inside view of a profession that has a significant impact on the nation’s natural resources:
A forester manages timber crops in conjunction with wildlife and watersheds
Urban foresters address storm water flooding, water quality, and loss of wildlife habitat
Graduate students conduct DNA research to predict wood density
An educator works with children to illustrate the importance of forest management
Fire management professionals illustrate how fire can restore ecosystems
Forestry consultants work with landowners to better manage private lands
The video, designed for use with students (grades 6 and up) and adults, can be used to help promote forestry as a career and to inform policymakers, the media, and the public.
