4-H Forestry Judging Practice
Dallas, GA
Forestry Judging is progressive and each practice builds upon the last. At summer practices we review and learn our trees, practice our measurement technique and create our study materials. Once we finish summer practices, we're really just practicing things we've already learned.
Some reminders about practice:
• Bring a three-ring binder for your manual.
• Bring any flashcards you have from last year's meetings.
• Wear tennis shoes (closed-toe and heel).
• Bring your lunch.
• Bring water and sunscreen! (It's going to be HOT!)
• Be on time!

Vegetable Garden Calendar (C 943) The recommendations in this circular are based on long-term average dates of the last killing frost in the spring and first killing frost in the fall. Every year does not conform to the "average," so you should use your own judgment about advancing or delaying the time for each job, depending on weather conditions.

Rare or endangered species are not described.
