What is Forestry? Forestry is both a science and an art. Enjoy Royalton’s 40 acre school forest. Identify tree species. Manage our forest to create a healthy canopy and area full of biodiversity to support the wildlife that live within. We will spend numerous hours outdoors. Forestry students are trained to grow, manage, and protect healthy forest ecosystems. Our forestry class is designed to give students hands-on field experiences using the latest technology when learning about land management principles and practices.
