Youth in the Forestry project explore the project at many levels, from beginners to advanced and beyond.

• Follow the Path, Level 1 —Youth explore different types of trees and tree parts, characteristics of different forests, what forests need to grow and thrive and the different products people get from trees and forests.
• Reach for the Canopy, Level 2—Youth take a closer look at the inner-workings of trees, explore forest change, learn about forest health concerns and discover the health benefits trees have on people.
• Explore the Deep Woods, Level 3—Youth examine and distinguish different types of trees, look at forests on a global scale, learn to care for trees and think about how to conserve forests.
• Forestry Helper’s Guide—The Helper’s Guide provides useful forest information, group youth activities and practical tips for volunteers. Using this curriculum, youth develop a life-long appreciation for forests and have loads of fun in the process.
