This year we were able to take 6 youth to the Forestry Field Day held at Carter Caves State Park. The purpose of the field day was to teach the basics of tree identification, tree measurement, and the use of a compass and measuring distances by pacing. The youth were broken up into groups and rotated through the lessons that each covered one of the above topics. They used their math knowledge to figure up numbers, degrees, and heights all while learning about different components of forestry. At the end of each component, the youth were given a quiz over what they had just learned and then awarded for their scores at the end. This was the first time many of those youth had done any of those activities and they all learned a great deal from just that one field day. They even noted how excited they were for the following year.
