Forestry

increased car ownership pushed the government to develop more roads, bridges and power systems. Due to the increased amount of electricity being used, the 1920’s the electrical production in Canada increased fourfold. Resource industries such as pulp, forestry and paper also increased…

Few studies on the biology and life cycle of bostrichid beetles have been done with mostly concentrating on economically important species (Liu et al., 2008). Typically, the bostrichid beetle undergoes complete metamorphosis with four life stages – egg, larva, pupa and adult. Eggs are laid in crack and cervices of sawn lumber or logs. Larva hatch and bore ¼ inch into the wood. Tunnels are filled with tightly packed, fine sawdust-like materials. Pupation happens at the end of the tunnel. Once…

Harvest on the Campagna The piece I chose to write about is Harvest on the Campagna by John Gatsby Chapman. This piece is displayed in the Kentucky Museum at Western Kentucky University. The museum had a wide range of artwork both professional and local, although, this particular one caught my eye at the door as it was displayed in the front lobby near the entrance. This piece is approximately 8 x 3 ½ and was surrounded by a large golden frame that was surely a show stopper but, that’s not…

According to Sharon Dalgleish, author of “Protecting Wildlife” one thousand years ago, 34% of the world was covered with forests. Fifty years ago, 32% of the world was covered in forests. Today, 12% of the world is covered in forests. Forests have a big role in the environment and keeping animals, as well as the air, healthy and clean. The world is losing one of its main resources. Instead of throwing away some paper that was used, put it into the recycling bin. Or, instead of sitting outside…

Southeast Asia, Laos PDR is centrally positioned around Myanmar (Burma) and the Northwestern part of China. Vietnam lies west of Laos and Cambodia borders the southwestern portion. Lastly, Thailand borders the southwestern and west area of Laos. Thick forestry landscaped areas and mountainous terrains are abundant around Laos. The Annamese Cordillera mountain range is a notable Landmark in Laos that runs along the Vietnam border in the North and South direction. (Evans). There are other…

has cut down 435,000 trees. Consequently, they have completely wiped away an enormous amount of forestry. The trees give us necessary oxygen to live, which is an extremely important issue. Yet nobody I know happens to mention it or even contemplate it in terms of a service to society. Generally, we are quick to help people through service, but not so…

Imagine going to work everyday for many hours as a kid. Many kids are being over-worked. Children are also working in buildings that are hazardous to their health. Stricter laws can help stop child labor. This paper will cover why child labor is an issue, how to solve it, and problems that might occur with the new solution. Child labor is a big problem. “In 1900, 18 percent of all American workers were under the age of 16.” (History.com Staff). That is high percentage considering that only…

Working Plan, which had three main objectives: a near continuous year-round yield of forest commodities, lucrative production, and an enhancement in the state of the forest. Despite demanding circumstances, this comprehensive plan demonstrated that forestry could be profitable while…

Vincent van Gogh “…I have found in my work something to which I can devote myself heart and soul…” (Living with Art p.10). Vincent van Gogh was a deeply disturbed man, however, he found his form of expression through art. Initially working as an art broker with his brother, Theo, he soon come to make art of his own (van Gogh’s p.11). However, the years he spent working with and on his art were in the latter ten years of his life (Living with Art p.10). While working through his troubles, he…

The main theoretical framework that we followed was the Cognitive Map Theory as the children had already learned about forestry so we were solidifying what they had learned and adding new bits of information to help with cohesion of the theory. We used many questions to gain insight as to what the children did and did not know. This method was used to trigger the mind maps of each student and help to draw on those concepts. We also incorporated the elaboration likelihood model in that most of…
