A video that takes viewers on a virtual tour of a working sawmill aims to educate children about the “green” life cycle of Scotland’s timber.
Filmed at Riding Sawmill, Cardross, the video tracks a piece of wood from saw log to tabletop, showing children how Scotland’s trees are planted, grown, harvested, milled and used for everyday use.
The educational video also shows how new trees are planted to replace harvested ones so the whole life cycle can carry on in an environmentally friendly way.
The video has been produced by Forestry Commission Scotland and the Forest Education Initiative. It is available with an accompanying Teachers’ Pack from Sven Rasmussen on 0141 941 2611.
