4-H Forestry Judging
Forestry judging trains young people in decision-making skills related to forestry and forest management. Team members learn:
- How to identify native species of trees by their twig, fruit and wood
- How to identify insects and diseases found in trees of the Tennessee Forest
- How to measure trees and evaluate timber
- How to use a compass and basic geometric concepts
In forestry judging, a team consists of three or four 4-H members. Each member works independently and the top three scores are combined to make up the team score. Please contact Dan Owen at (931) 433-1582 if you are interested in learning more about 4-H forestry judging.
