Please click below to see some terrific feedback from some of the students who had the opportunity to participate in the Adventures in Forestry Program.
Student 1 Goal for this program was to get some idea of what I want to be “job wise”.
I was overwhelmed with awesome careers at first. But now I actually think I’ve got one I mind for me.
Additional comment:
This Adventure was awesome, so unexpected how great it would be. This trip… was so rich in knowledge and great insight. The best aspect I can take away from this 3 day adventure is it has definitely pushed me into a career path that will benefit me for the rest of my life.
Thank you, Rotary!
