A simple hike through the woods turns into a learning experience when three teenagers meet up with a forester from the Kentucky Division of Forestry. Through their discussions with the forester, interviews with other experts, and a video exploration of the forest, our hikers—and your students—learn about the history of Kentucky forests, the natural and human influences that have shaped them, and their future.

Content areas covered in the one-hour program, which is divided into three 20-minute segments for classroom use, include environmental science, life science, history, geography, and economics. The program is a co-production of KET, the U.S. Forest Service, the Kentucky Division of Forestry, and other partners. It premiered in November 2002.
