COMMENTS
From The Participants
? Traveling to all of the di?erent locations; it was amazing to see the REAL THING
instead of it being told to us. 每 Alicia Ridder, River Blu? High School, Lexington, SC
? Visiting the di?erent forests and hearing how they were used. I did not know anything about forestry and having hands on experience really solidi?ed the concepts.
每 Kristen Cooper, Sterling School, Greenville, SC
? I enjoyed most getting out in the ?eld and seeing forestry in action. This gave me a
clear picture of what foresters do, and how forestry is sustainable.
每 Elizabeth Evans-Razi, Palmetto Learning Center, Chesterfield, SC
? Learning about the extent land management has evolved to as far as attention to
detail, how technology has come so far, and the fact that virtually every part of the tree
is used for something, to cause no waste.
每 John Bundy, Buford Elementary School, Lancaster, SC
? I really have a new perception for the forest products industry. The things that are
made and how all products are used really brought a new view.
- Alonzo McDonald, Manning High School, Manning SC
? The interaction between foresters and industry was something I was made more
aware of. The Sustainable Forestry Initiative is something everyone should know.
每 Michelle Greene, Lamar High School, Lamar, SC
? This tour reinforced my views on forestry and how important it is to everyday life.
每 Chris Cade, Abbeville High School, Abbeville, SC
