Table of Contents:
It should also be realized that these reprints were originally published
between 1944 and 1984. The vast majority of these "gems" are untimely,
but a few are well over 50 years old. The Forest Perserve Distrtict of
Cook County will not take any responsibility for their content and offer
these for both the information they contain and the historical significance
they may provide.
These bulletins can serve more than one purpose:
-
Obviously they are a great resource of interesting information about nature,
and
-
they can be used as a springboard for students to do some re-writing or
enhancing activities. Have students make drawings for selected articles.
Use your imagination and you should realize the value of these bulletins
for all grade levels.

Our second most popular web pages offer a wide selection on nature / wildlife topics of all
kinds. These are excellent motivators for writing projects and science interest activities,
to name a few, and are appropriate for all age levels. Classroom teachers in Cook County
received these 'gems' weekly from 1944 into 1984. They are now archived in NEWTON BBS'
web pages.
Suggested Instructions: The best approach is to use the "find" command on your browser to
search for a specific topic of interest. For example, type in "owls" and you will find the
first article with "owls" as part of the subject. The find next command will find the
second article with "owls" in the subject line.
WARNING: Do NOT print this page! It is toooooooo large!!
