Did you know..? In a tree plantation stage, some forestry workers plant up to 3000 trees and walk up to ten kilometers in a single day! Show your primary students the ‘Seed to Shelter’ forestry video and then follow it up with the 360-degree Virtual Reality (VR) experience available on YouTube (below) or through the ForestVR App for IOS and Android.
