Project Description

Forestry products abound in Montana — from giant cedars in the west to pines in the southeast. Through the 4-H forestry project, you will discover how important these forests are to our state. You'll also learn about forest ecology and people's reliance on forest products. You'll explore the relationship between trees, people and communities.
