Forestry Occupations. A Curriculum Guide.
Mercer, R. J., Ed.
Developed as a part of a larger project to revise the total agricultural education curriculum in South Carolina, this curriculum guide is designed for a 2-year course in forestry occupations. A paradigm accompanies the document and illustrates a possible time frame and sequence. The units covered by the curriculum include an orientation to forestry occupations; tree and wood identification and use; forestry mechanics (eight subunits); establishment and management of forests (seven subunits); forest fire control (one subunit); forest recreation (one subunit); harvest planning and management (seven subunits); harvest operations (four subunits); and timber processing (one subunit). Subunits are either functional or supportive, with each providing objectives, suggested learning activities, a topic outline, and suggested resources. The appendixes include lists of facilities, equipment, and resource agencies and a compiled bibliography. (BM)
