The Forestry program at Philomath High School is full of exciting, hands-on courses. Students will engage in work-based learning as they participate in field work, trips to local land management areas, and are exposed to various career paths within the industry. Students are eligible to compete in local forestry competitions as they advance through the pathway.
Forestry Receives Grant!
A huge thanks goes to the Oregon Natural Resources Education Fund for their generous grant donation to the PHS Forestry and Natural Resources Program. PHS received the Terry Selby Grant which provided funds to purchase new equipment and fencing supplies. Students are now able to learn and get hands-on experience using a band saw and belt sander. See photos below of students in action!
