The forestry event aims to spark student interest in forestry and promote it as a career choice. Students learn forestry terms, the economic impact of forests, sustainability, environmental factors, major tree species, and the use of tools and approved practices in forestry management. Team members identify environmental and social factors affecting the management of forests and economically significant species of trees in the United States and internationally. Also, members demonstrate how to recognize and understand approved silvicultural practices in the United States; identify forest disorders and their causes; take forest inventory; utilize marketing management strategies, and recognize safety practices in forest management.
