Place Based Education Artifact

This article, "Combined climate and carbon-cycle effects of large-scale deforestation," could be used for place based education in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Carbon levels and deforestation are both pertinent to this area. Little action has been made to decrease our carbon footprint in Western NC and VA. Also, this area has many wooded areas which are vulnerable to deforestation. This article could be used to educate people in this area about the combined effects of carbon and deforestation.

This is a picture I found taken near Asheville, NC in the Pisgah National Forest.
