With a great start to the fall event season, the Shasta Forestry Challenge had 72 students from 15 schools in attendance. The focus topic for this event was conducting an inventory and post-treatment evaluation of two units of the North 49 Forest Health Recovery project, a 42,400 acre project designed to increase fire resiliency and restore pre settlement conditions, located on the Hat Creek Ranger District of the Lassen National Forest. Students used the data they collected to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and predict stand conditions into the future.
