Any 4-H Club member may participate as a forestry team member. Girls and boys from both urban and rural areas may participate. Competition, however, will be at two levels - senior and junior. Cloverleaf members may compete as junior team members. This training manual is designed to provide information for both junior and senior team members who each participate at different levels of competition.
Seniors participate at advanced levels in three of the events.
Use of the compass in conjunction with the pacing event. Use of a different tree, forest insect, and disease identification list. State competition is at the senior level only. The top team in the state, at the discretion of the head forestry judge, will compete in the National 4-H Forestry Invitational in West Virginia the following July or August. Coaching help for participants may be obtained at the local level.
