Redwoods: Age Appropriate Redwood Information Sheets
Redwoods is a series of education materials designed to introduce
children to one of our greatest natural treasures: the ancient redwood
forest. Students will find these materials friendly and easy to use, and
teachers will be delighted to discover that they complement current standard
curriculum for grade ranges K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12.
Redwood forests provide an excellent foundation for cross-discipline
studies. Using the natural environment as a context from which to teach
History, Literature, Writing, Math, and Science has been shown to improve
student performance.
Children are our future and their education is paramount. We hope you
will use Redwoods as a companion to your existing curriculum. Click on the links below to view these publications (Adobe
