APPALACHIAN NATURAL RESOURCE EXHIBIT
MOONLITE GARDENS
The Tree of Appalachian Life
A Tribute to our #1 Renewable Resource – WOOD
When you look at the world surrounding you, what do
you see?
Cities – Farms – Forests. Forest areas occupy a third of
the United States land, and is the number one renewable resource, that is misunderstood.
When we wake up every day with the
need for food, energy, and materials. We use a lot of wood from furnishing
warmth and energy from fires, to building our homes, to giving us a place to
rest with furniture, and all the way to writing our grocery lists. With
this in mind the average individual uses up to 1600 pounds of wood each year
in the US.
Wood is an essential element in our lives, we need
to be aware if we have enough to last for today, and throughout tomorrow. The
wood we use today will build and heat our homes, where the wood we plant
today will shade our future generations.
The Appalachian Festival is paying tribute to our #1
renewable resource, WOOD. We
want to honor those who work in this profession to bring us this vital part of
our daily lives. So when you pick up that pencil or walk on that hardwood
floor, remember all the men and women that make it possible.
