Forestry

Mr. Firack's Earth Science classes and Mr. Peterson's Physical Science classes, along with Mr. St. Onge from the EUPISD and Mr. Rairigh, were out on the Pickford School Forest Property setting up some forestry plots for data collection. 

The data, which included tree diameter and basal area, will be used to help students to consider possible management plans for this property.
