Pre-Lessons
Classroom Visit
Prior to your Port Blakely Tree Farms tour, our environmental education coordinator will schedule a one-hour classroom visit. During this hour, students will participate in four fun learning stations: Tree Identification, Wildlife Tracks, Products from Trees, and Tree Growth. Follow the link below to see further details about each of these learning stations.
