Pre-view
the program for specific information and concepts relevant
to your goals and materials, and current events.
Adapt the following suggestions for pre-viewing activities
or create your own activities, suggestions, and areas of focus.
Track
how you use wood products (including paper) in your everyday
life. How do you relate to trees? How do you value wood?
Look
for evidence of the logging industry in Oregon. Some evidence
might include forests, clearcuts and replanted areas, lumber
mills, lumber yards, log trucks on the highway, road signs,
piles of wood chips, and ships being loaded with logs.
Differentiate
between federal forests and forests that are privately owned.
Review a map of lands owned by the USDA Forest
Service2, the O & C Lands managed by the USDI
Bureau of Land Management, and Oregons state
forests3. Are any of these forests located near
you?
Describe
your view of the logger, and the logging way of life.
Define
the characteristics of land that is suitable for logging.
Describe the conditions that support Oregons major forests.
In what landform regions4 are these forests
located?
2 The USDA Forest Service administers 13 national
forests in Oregon: Deschutes, Fremont, Malheur, Mt. Hood,
Ochoco, Rogue River, Siskiyou, Siuslaw, Umatilla, Umpqua,
Wallowa-Whitman, Willamette, and Winema. They cover the
Coast Range, most of the Cascades, and the highlands of
northeastern Oregon.
3 Oregons state forests include Clatsop,
Tillamook, Santiam, Elliott, and Sun Pass.
4 See, e.g., Orr et al. (1992, Geology of Oregon,
