The Florida Forestry Teachers’ Tour brings teachers from across the state to Fernandina Beach each June to see firsthand how forestry works in Florida.

This four-day event demonstrates to educators that sustainability is the key to responsible forestry. Participating teachers experience all aspects of forestry practices from the planting and growing processes to the mills and end products. They also learn about chemical by-products created in the process of making paper. In short, they see first-hand the industry’s many efforts to maximize the effective and efficient use of resources.

Many thanks go to our sponsors. They make it possible for teachers to attend at no cost to themselves beyond transportation to and from Fernandina Beach. Sponsoring one teacher costs $500. If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor, you can donate here.
