Students work with forestry land managers and scientists to evaluate and support aspen forest populations. Engaging interactives will promote observation skills and draw out prior knowledge as students learn how to assess the health of aspen forests. They will gather their own evidence and use the USDA's guidelines for Aspen Restoration to develop recommendations for their chosen study site.
