Terri Birkett, member of NOFMA, took it upon herself to add reason to the rhyme of Dr. Seuss and rewrote his book, The Lorax- her version titled, Truax. It is an encounter between Guardbark, protector of trees, and Truax, the logger. In a fast paced, fun, rhythm and rhyme style, the book addresses issues such as harvesting trees, regeneration, old growth, biodiversity, endangered species and other forestry issues. Its simplistic and humorous fashion reaches the imaginations of children and enables them to understand the logic in forest management. You may order a paper copy of the book as well as download the Complete Lesson Plan and Book Review at the NOFMA site. TRUAX - by Terri Birkett
