Introduction

Hello everyone, I would like to introduce the National Museum of Forest Service's Conservation Education Working group blog. The purpose of this blog is to bring together a group of voices from varying backgrounds with differing ideas and needs from a Conservation Education program in order to begin to develop a truly useful and comprehensive program that can become a valuable tool for all levels of education.

This is how it would work:

All members of the team would be given electronic permission to create new postings on this site in order to develop new ideas and suggestions. This will require all team members to take a few minutes and create a Google account.

For those of you that have not used this kind of tool, let me assure you that is extremely easy to use, and it can prove to be a tremendous tool for collaboration with a little effort.

Also, both team members, and non-team members would be able to post comments about items that are being posted.

Finally, this blog could also be a place to collect any electronic resources that we think might be helpful in developing an end product. (websites, pictures, ect.)

Dave Stack Introduction

I am Executive Director of the National Museum Museum of Forest Service History. I am anxious to see this blog develop some great ideas that we can use to implement a Conservation History Education Program. I have always been interested in history.

I am forester by education and experience. Other than three years in the Navy, I spent my working career with the Forest Service starting as a summer seasonal in California and then Oregon. After the Navy, I worked three different assignments in Wisconsin before relocating to Duluth MN. My next assignment was as a District Ranger in West Virginia. I moved to Missoula in 1985 to be the Missoula District Ranger on the Lolo National Forest. I retired in 1999.
