This program is designed specifically for youth groups ages 8-10 and satisfies many of the requirements for beginning level forestry, conservation, or natural resource badges. Approximately two hours of the course is indoor, hands-on activities and one hour is outdoors. Topics covered may include, but are not limited to: tree identification, tree growth, wildfires, and how to plant a tree. Non Scouts welcome!

All participants should be dressed for outdoor activities-rain or shine! This includes sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots and appropriate clothing, including rain gear if necessary. We suggest dressing in easy-to-add or shed layers to account for changes in temperature or exertion levels. Trails can be muddy and extra shoes or clothes in the car may be useful for the ride home.
