Participants will study forest ecology with Keith Bengston. They will learn to identify trees, measure them as well as the plot they are in. There will be a presentation of how foresters mathematically count all of the trees of a certain species in the acreage of the park, as well as what their importance is and how they are utilized. There will be much scientific information during this session.
