	Boom and bust in the Ozark forests Access this item. Title Boom and bust in the Ozark forests Based on The Lorax Subject Timber -- Arkansas -- History Ecology -- Arkansas Description In this lesson students will learn about a human activity that had a major affect on the natural landscape in the Ozark Plateau Natural Division—the removal of the deciduous forests that occurred by the end of the nineteenth century. They will compare the Ozark deforestation with the removal of Truffula trees and associated ecological events in the story of The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss. Students will also analyze the timber "boom and bust" of the early 1900's and learn about federal and state agencies that exist to prevent such environmental catastrophes from occurring again.
