What type of community service projects do campers at the Junior Forester Academy participate in?
• Projects that work towards restoration of our fire-adapted ponderosa pine ecosystem • Junior Foresters use rakes, shovels and elbow grease to clear decades worth of pine needles from the bases of old growth ponderosa pine. This is an effort to save the trees from both prescribed and catastrophic wildfire by reducing the amount of dry fuel at the bases, which can cause root damage, cambium scorch, and death to some of our forest’s oldest trees.
