Forestry is
designed to enable students to become knowledgeable of forestry and wood
technology. Students acquire an appreciation for increased emphasis on
managing and securing forests for the future. Students develop skills
for producing, managing, harvesting, marketing, and developing forestry
products. Students also develop skills in the area of biotechnology,
surveying, and mapping. Students evaluate practices to insure
protection of natural resources found in the forest ecosystem.
Students learn to identify forest trees, forest products, forest insects,
and forest diseases. Students use tools associated with forestry and
wood technology. Students develop leadership skills, realize personal
growth, and are better prepared for career success through the knowledge
gained and skills acquired in this course.
The curriculum is expanded to
accommodate specific community interest and utilize local resources.
This course encourages critical thinking, use of the scientific method,
integration of technology, development of student leadership skills, and
application of knowledge and skills related to practical questions/problems.
Safe field and laboratory investigations are used in instruction to
illustrate scientific concepts and principles and to support inquiry
instruction.
This course emphasizes FFA
opportunities that develop students' potential for premier leadership,
personal growth, and career success.
