"I'm used to identifying trees with leaves," one Line Mountain student said. "Today was a challenge as we had to identify trees without leaves. It certainly challenged me to apply my knowledge in a hands-on setting." The teens also enjoyed lunch on campus, and ended their day with a tour of the Allenwood area facility and an overview of the School of Natural Resources Management's forest technology major. "We don't get to do this kind of work in our daily classroom," another student added. "This was more hands-on and I like that."
