The second mini-lesson will to be to review what makes up a forest ecosystem.  The final mini-lesson will be to hike through the forest to determine what elements there are here to provide a suitable habitat for our birds and animals to survive.  (It is helpful if students have some previous knowledge of what an ecosystem and food chains are.).
