Several hundred schools in Michigan own a school forest, an incredible resource that educators and administrators may not always fully utilize. In 2019, to help these schools reap the educational, recreational and economic benefits of their forests, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) developed and published the Michigan School Forest Guide with support from a Forest Service Landscape Scale Restoration grant.
Congratulations to the Eastern Region’s 2020 Honor Awards recipients! The Honor Awards recognize people, partnerships and projects that exemplify the USDA Forest Service’s motto, “Caring for the Land and Serving People.”
