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

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

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.

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.

5 Reasons to Volunteer: Feedback from Students “The Forestry Challenge was an incredible opportunity to understand “My favorite part of this event was what it’s like to be a forester.” learning how to use the tools of the trade. I have always wondered what foresters used and why they used it. It “My favorite was very informative and very fun.” academic part of the event was the “My favorite non -academic part of the field training and event was talking to the foresters in a being able to work casual setting because I really got to with foresters connect with them.” one-on- one.” “Field training was great! I appreciated the number of foresters helping us.”

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
