Oklahoma forestry launches backpack program
Oklahoma Forestry Services, in partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Libraries, has launched a new backpack program at 84 rural libraries across the state.
The program, created and overseen by Oklahoma Forestry Services, is designed to encourage kids of all ages to get outside and learn about Oklahoma’s forests and the invasive species trying to move-in.
The backpacks feature a variety of educational tools including, age-appropriate information about invasive species for six different age groups, a book about invasive species and hands-on activities. For more information about Oklahoma Forestry Services, visit forestry.ok.gov.
