Synopsis
A heavily illustrated children's history of the logging boom in the 19th century and the conservation efforts that followed. How did the logging boom begin? What was it like to work in the woods? What happened to the land after the trees were cut down? The latest book for young readers from father-daughter duo Jerry Apps and Susan Apps-Bodilly explores the origin story of Wisconsin's logging boom, the devastation it caused to the land, and the extraordinary efforts to restore the cutover land and log sustainably. Timber! helps young readers examine a complex and pivotal chapter in our state and nation's history, covering a wide range of topics, including: - how Native people used, shared, and relied on natural resources for thousands of years - the forced removal of Native people from forested lands - how the lumber industry made possible the westward expansion of the United States - what it was like to work in a logging camp, on a log drive, and inside a sawmill - the roles on a logging team, from sawyer to cook - the destructive legacy of early logging practices and early efforts to restore the land - the emergence of sustainable forestry practices This comprehensive yet easy-to-read history includes letters, postcards, and other primary sources paired with discussion questions designed to engage young readers' creativity and critical-thinking skills. Timber! also features more than 100 images, a glossary, suggested activities, and an extensive list of related resources, including books, websites, teaching materials, museums, and outdoor places to visit. Timber! will inspire readers of all ages to explore, protect, and learn about trees and forests in their own communities., A heavily illustrated children's history of the logging boom in the 19th century and the conservation efforts that followed.

The only thing I’d say is maybe add some stuffing in the packaging so the book cover doesn’t get squished during shipping but they’re minor creases. Thanks for a great experience
