An official species list will be available for each contest. Points will be given for the correct common name. One-half of the points will be deducted for each name misspelled. The common name must be the one used on the official species list. All final scores from this event may be weighted to match final scores from other events.
Samples can be photographs, fresh, or pressed herbarium specimens of leaf samples.
Fruits, nuts, seeds, and flowers will not normally be provided on the contest but may be available. The following tree species list is to be used for the 4-H Forestry Field Day Junior Contests. It is arranged alphabetically by scientific names in order to group siminlar trees together. The Junior list includes 44 tree species. References are listed in the back of this manual.
