Opportunity: Forestry Challenge

The Forestry Challenge is an academic competition for high school students in technical forestry and current forestry topics.

Participants spend four days learning about the ecology and management of the forest. Focus topics include silviculture, vegetation and fuels, and forest inventory.

Forestry Challenge

Goal #1: Teach students the basic principles of forestry, connecting classroom math and science to hands-on experiences with real-world applications, enabling them to make recommendations about natural resource management.

Goal #2: Give students the

• pportunity to explore careers by

interacting with natural resource professionals including foresters from public agencies, private industry, and

• ther organizations.

Foresters Mentoring Schools

Teachers can request a forester when they pre-register in the

• spring. We are able to match many schools with local foresters.

They make one or more visits to campus to train the students.

“The Forestry Challenge was an incredible opportunity to understand what it’s like to be a forester.” “My favorite academic part of the event was the field training and being able to work with foresters

• ne-on-one.”

“My favorite part of this event was learning how to use the tools of the

• trade. I have always wondered what

foresters used and why they used it. It was very informative and very fun.” “My favorite non-academic part of the event was talking to the foresters in a casual setting because I really got to connect with them.” “Field training was great! I appreciated the number of foresters helping us.”

Feedback from Students

Student Profile: Michelle Diaz

We talked about the careers and opportunities that I may encounter in the Forestry field. That was a hopeful talk we had, considering I only needed someone to believe in me to make it. I still remember you telling me something like, “You can do it all, the only difference between you and me is time”. Luckily, I applied for Humboldt State University shortly after that, and I’m happy to tell you that I’ve been admitted! I’m really excited for this new journey as a Forestry major.

Thank You
