Forestry PAC
What happens after the tree is harvested? In the Forestry PAC, students follow timber processing steps, from cutting and removal to the finished product. Students will explore natural and artificial reforestation—they understand the importance of forest restoration, and they determine how this process is achieved. Even still, obstacles such as disease, insects, and fire may interfere with a forest’s healthy growth. Techniques are taught to assess and diagnose any potential problems that might prevent a forest from maturing into a harvestable timber crop. These and other activities provide the students with the essentials they need to make responsible forest management decisions.

Throughout
history, forests have played an integral part in people’s daily
lives. As the population has grown, so has the need for timber
production. Out of this growing need came today’s expanding timber
industry. Now we enjoy many benefits of progressive forestry
practices, from timber for our homes and paper in our books, to the
pleasure of a quiet walk in the woods.
