Forestry Judging

4-H Forestry Field Day/Forestry Judging

Forestry Field Day (FFD) is a competitive Judging Contest where 4-H'ers learn about one of Georgia's most valuable resources. Participants learn to identify trees, insects, and diseases. They also participate in compass and pacing activities and learn how to complete sawtimber volume estimations. FFD provides an opportunity for youth to gain a better appreciation for our local forest resources and how they contribute to our economy and quality of life.



Resources:

Forestry Field Day Resources are all listed on the Georgia 4-H website in one convenient location covering all areas of the competition.
The resources page has links to the competition guidelines, the Forestry Field Day Manual, score cards, practice quizzes, tutorial videos and more.
