We are an intercollegiate team of men and women students who are interested in traditional forestry field skills. This includes competitive events like double bucking, axe throwing, horizontal and vertical chopping, and chainsawing. Participation with the logging team is also a good way to develope pratical working skills in a safe environment.
Students receive an invitation during fall quarter to join based on scholastic achievement.
This usually occurs in the first two weeks of Winter quarter. The group sponsors several special events, such as the Distinguished Speaker Program and a community project. The Cal Poly Student Chapter of the Society of American Foresters functions as a professional organization that strives to provide the latest forestry information and contacts for those students primarily interested in forestry or forestry related careers. All interested students are invited to attend and share their view and aspirations with the chapter. Los Padres SAF Chapter meeting featuring Art Cowley of Big Trees Volunteers to clean campus for Ag.
