FireWorks Curriculum
 

Developed by the Fire Lab in Missoula, MT, this curriculm features ponderosa, lodgepole, and whitebark pine forests, and provides students with interactive, hands-on materials to study the forces that cause change in forests, particularly wildland fire.

The entire curriculum is on-line, complete with color graphics, on the U. S. Forest Service - Missoula Fire Sciences Lab website.

The FireWorks educational trunk is available for loan from Glacier National Park, as well as from Flathead National Forest.
