The El Dorado Forestry Challenge had 112 students from 16 schools in attendance. The focus topic for this event was to collect data on natural regeneration within Leoni Meadows after the Caldor fire. The students determined if the natural regeneration of seedlings was sufficient to support the growth of a new, healthy and diverse forest environment across the 900 acre property.
