Each year Forest Watch offers a Teacher's Workshop on the campus of the University of New Hampshire. The 2014 workshop is scheduled for August 11-13.

Coring a tree is one of students' favorite activities. The rings in the tree, as these students are learning, tell a story of the tree's history.

Urban schools also participate in Forest Watch. These students walk two blocks to a city park to visit the white pine trees they are studying.

A student field notebook shows a white pine’s location, height, diameter and more.  Careful recording of data is just one skill Forest Watch students learn.

Teachers practice using a clinometer to estimate tree height, an exercise they will use with students to record data on trees in their study plots.
