REVIEW:
Teachers and students will find Forestry Images to be a handy resource for locating images to use in multimedia reports, Web pages, and teaching materials. All 4,500 images are copyrighted by the University of Georgia and can be used for non-profit educational purposes but must be accompanied by the proper citations. Users are asked to register for full download privileges but the registration is free. High-quality images are available in six categories: Forest Plants, Forest Pests, Silvicultural Practices, Invasive Organisms, Wildlife, and People, Places and Scenes. Each of the images is available in a variety of sizes and includes the classification, the photographer's name, and a catalog number.
