“The California Forestry Challenge is a unique opportunity that allows kids to apply what they learn about the resource base of California, particularly  the management of the forest ecosystems”; said Katie Alling; Nevada Union High School Agriculture teacher . Heath Mullen, a sophomore agriculture student at Nevada Union High School summed it up as follows:  “This is a great program.  It gets us into the woods to learn and enjoy our resources.”
