Objective
To create an awareness of the Western Newfoundland Model Forest Week through

Description
National Forest Week takes place annually in the month of May. Activities include
circulating information packages to local schools, promoting the Western Newfoundland
Model Forest and National Forest Week through media relations, interacting with
the general public via an information display, and enhancing forest awareness
in students through classroom presentations. During 2002, performances of “Ask
Me If I’m A Tree”, an educational clown show about forest ecology
were presented in nine schools in western and central Newfoundland. This promotion
of National Forest Week proves to be successful in increasing awareness of the
Western Newfoundland Model Forest.
