Illinois Forestry Website Trees are Illinois' most valuable renewable natural resource. A new Illinois Forestry website has been developed by Jay Hayek, our new Forestry Extension Specialist. Visit the site at: http://web.extension.uiuc.edu/forestry/
Illinois Forestry contains a wealth of information on tree planting, forest management, urban and community forestry issues, Illinois forest facts and much more. An interesting section is the Illinois Big Tree Register that lists the largest trees in Illinois and their locations.
Website Features the Many Faces of Agriculture What do you think of when you hear the word "agriculture"? The image of crops growing in a field or a barnyard full of animals may come to mind. But even if you don't live on a farm, agriculture is all around us. Learn more about where we get our food!
Teachers and students should check out the Illinois Department of Agriculture's Kid's Page http://www.agr.state.il.us/kidspage/index.html to see Farm Animals & their Babies; Food & Other Things you every day that come from the Farm; The Story of Milk, Plants, animals and more to see on the Farm; Word Puzzles; and Hidden Word Searches.
