In the forestry portion, you will gain a wide range of knowledge about trees, including the history of Wisconsin forestry, tools used, how to measure and identify trees, career options, and the science behind the trees themselves. This class includes many hands-on activities and we will spend a lot of time outside and help teach students during the annual School Forest Field Trip. In the wildlife/fisheries portion, students will learn about wildlife animals and fish species, how to track wildlife, how to score deer, and identifying animals by their skulls. We will also be looking into raising and managing game animals. One of the hands-on activities/labs focus om custom fishing rod building. We will visit a local taxidermy shop and fishery for a field trip. This course is offered for science credit and MidState Credit. There is a $10 course fee to help cover a portion of the cost of your custom fishing rod.
