Pictured is the forestry team: (L to R) Hunter Gaither (alternate), Ryan Haley, Casey Willard, Aaron Sissom, and C.W. Reed.

Members of the FFA chapter attended forestry camp held at Camp Clements June 4-5.

During this event contestants competed in leaf identification, chainsaw identification and safety, insect and disease identifications, individual and team tree measurements, a compass course, and individual and team testing.

The team did an outstanding job in the contest by placing first regionally and eighth in the state. Congratulations on a job well done!

This is the first of many teams the chapter plans to build and will have compete in contests during the upcoming year.
