Forestry

Today we ventured to the Chief Corn National Forest. We learned a great deal about many different plant species. For example , we discussed the species called Hemlock, and how it is facing extinction due to a parasitic bug. Also, we learned about the Amish Logging Crew that harvested the trees in certain regions, and how a horse team causes much less environmental damage than machine operated teams who use skid loaders. It was a very educational trip and we learned a lot.
