- b. range of tree
- c. height and diameter of tree at maturity
- d. economic importance of tree
- e. important pests (insects, disease, etc.) of the tree
- f. habitat of tree, forest zone, and elevation
- g. common age of rotation (harvesting) for various uses
4. What methods are used to insure reforestation of a harvest area?
5. On a map of your country, draw the forest areas and indicate the types of forest in each area.
6. Write a short report (250 words or more) on the importance of the forests in your country. Include such topics as the importance of wood for timber, paper (pulp), and firewood; wildlife habitat; livestock grazing; good water quality; and recreation for people.

8. Do a forest survey in a typical forest for your area. Using a prism, mark all trees large enough to be counted “in”, and record the following data for each “in” tree, and record the basal area by species for the whole plot:
- a. Common and scientific name
- b. DBH
- c. Height
- d. Age (determined by increment borer)
9. Participate in a reforestation project
