• Volunteer to speak at a Rotary, Kiwanis or other local civic/professional group meeting. Play one of our Florida Forestry videos and add a few of your own comments.
• Give a tour of your land or operation to governmental officials, schools, teachers, church groups, local media, other associations, etc., so they can see firsthand all the ways that forests make life better.

Ask the principal of your local elementary school if you could do an activity with one of their classes (We suggest fourth graders). We have materials to help!

• Check out our “Forestry in the Classroom at a Glance” infographic here! Get all the details with “Forestry in the Classroom Step by Step.”
• Watch a video of a mock activity targeted for fourth graders.
• Check out a list of materials to make your own Goods from the Woods box to teach kids about the 5000+ items made from forest products.
• Bonus points: Leave a sample box with the teacher for use in the classroom as a reminder of the many benefits of Florida forests — from Tylenol to tissue and crayons to cleaning supplies and 5000+ other items, trees do make life better!

Write a letter to the editor for your local paper! See examples here.
