Who Did What
Project Participants
Electronic Field Trip to the Forest is a project of the Education Division of KET, Kentucky’s public television network. It includes a 60-minute television program produced by KET and hosted by Tim Womick of the National Tree Trust, units of study for classroom use, and an interactive web site including a “Kentucky Habitats” activity.
KET worked with several partners in developing the field trip, especially the Daniel Boone National Forest unit of the USDA Forest Service and the Kentucky Division of Forestry. The project was funded in part by a grant from the USDA Forest Service.
