Hands on the Land Teaching Materials

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: Hands on the Land (HOL) is a network of field classrooms stretching across America from Alaska to Florida. HOL is sponsored by Partners in Resource Education, a collaboration of five Federal agencies, a non-profit foundation, schools, and other private sector partners. Public lands comprise approximately one-third of the acreage of the U.S., and you'll soon see they are rich in historical, archaeological and environmental learning opportunities. Through the HOL network of field classrooms, Federal agencies are providing a diverse array of hands-on learning opportunities for teachers and students. And, in addition to the field activities at each site, teachers and students are learning from each other through the HOL web site. This web site allows teachers and students to share information and learn about their local ecosystems, creative teaching strategies, and much more!

Wildland Fire Primer

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: This Wildland Fire Primer is intended to serve as an outline for educators interested in teaching students about wildland fire. Fire and its management can be intimidating subjects for those with little or no knowledge of wildland fire issues. The background information provided in this Primer and related curriculum materials will enable educators to feel comfortable discussing wildland fire topics, and assist them in bringing these important topics into the classroom. This Primer has five areas of emphasis: (1) the natural role of fire; (2) the historical and cultural aspects of fire; (3) the wildland–urban interface zone; (4) fire management—fuels treatment and prescribed fire; and (5) fire management—fire education, prevention, and suppression. Many fire topics blend into more than one area. Included is a list of wildland fire education resource materials and fire-related Web sites. Some materials may be available through local offices of Federal or State agencies, while others are available through various additional outlets.
