The 2024 fall Forestry Challenge season got off to a strong start, as the Shasta event had its largest attendance ever. A total of 118 students from 19 schools participated, the first time the Shasta event has topped 100 students. RPF and LTO Dennis Garrison provided the focus topic location, his 78-acre property with an active Modified THP. The information gained from conducting a cruise helped students calculate the timber volume available for harvest and also estimated potential net gain, taking into consideration current market prices, logging and hauling costs, and yield tax.
Results are as follows out of a possible score of 250 points:
- First Place: Grant Union High School Team 13, 207.7 points
- Second Place: Mariposa High School, 207.4 points
- Third Place: Grant Union High School Team 14, 200.7 points
- Fourth Place: Cordova High School, 199.8 points
- Fifth Place: Bret Harte High School, 197.3 points
By scoring over 200 points, Grant Union and Mariposa earned an automatic invitation to the Championship event in April 2024.
Golden Eagle Charter from Mt. Shasta won the pacing contest with a distance of 66 feet 10 inches, with Foothill and Mt. Shasta High Schools coming in second and third.
Other schools at the event were Anderson New Technology, Anderson Union, Etna, Hayfork, McCloud, Middletown, Mountainside, Orland, Nevada Union, Redding Christian, Weed, and West Valley.
