Forest Ecology

Go exploring in the forest with your group! This kit includes everything you need to learn and teach about life in your local forest. You can use nets and bug cases to observe small creatures up close. Plant field guides help you to understand how the forest is structured. You can even check out a set of binoculars to go along with your other forest gear and get up close and personal with birds!
