A Walk in the Woods Kurt Bigbee

Zeke and Riley began a quiet hike, but the peace and silence of the woods was interrupted by a loud motor and crashing noises. At first, it looked like the beautiful forest was being cut down and destroyed. Mommy explains that it's possible to harvest a forest without killing it. They see that some harvested areas are growing seedlings and showing signs of new life. They also learn that loggers leave trees in some areas to protect streams. A walk in the woods is a fun adventure story that teaches the concept of stewardship, that people can utilize resources and take care of the land at the same time. Interactive activities await little learners at the end of the story to help reinforce these concepts.
