What is the difference between the Senior Forester Academy and the Junior Forester Academy?
• The main difference between JFA and SFA is the focus of camper projects during the week. JFA focuses on how to measure vegetation in tenth acre plots, while SFA integrates how wildlife, insects and vegetation vary between areas of the forest. • Seniors get the opportunity to participate in the NAU Challenge Course. This is a wonderful team building and self esteem building high ropes course that challenges campers to set goals and meet them individually and as a team. • Seniors use the skills they learned as Juniors to complete a scientific research project comparing three different forested areas (burned, restored and unrestored forests). They will create and test hypotheses while gathering scientific data throughout the week.
