Take a look through the 2021 Annual Report.
The Forestry Challenge had a great fall season, with four events starting in late September and ending in mid November. A total of 200 students and 48 teachers from 32 schools attended the four-day fall events.
A total of 93 individuals volunteered over 1600 hours at the events, with 6 individuals volunteering at two or more events. The total volunteer in-kind value was $75,397. Cash donations from 27 companies, agencies, organizations, and individuals totaled $50,544.36. Funding from the US Forest Service and a CalFire Climate Investment grant, as well as school registration fees, rounded out the income for the year. Sponsor support is used in part to subsidize student registration fees and substitute teacher expenses, and purchase supplies, t-shirts, and printed materials.
Bob Broderick, a Registered Professional Forester who has been volunteering at many events since 2010, was named Volunteer of the Year, while Katie Cantrell from Foresthill High School, whose teams consistently top the charts, was given the Tom Eustis Memorial Award for Teaching Excellence.
