County 4-H Forestry Leadership Summer Program The
4-H Forestry Leadership Summer Program will allow 10-15 high school students from
Mason County to learn leadership skills and experience sustainable natural resource
management by doing service-learning projects alongside natural resource professionals.
This program is designed for students who want to explore and experience activities
in forestry and wildlife related careers and who have a special interest in hands-on
community service activities.
The
four weeks "in the field" will consist of several projects that allow
program members to apply what they have learned. Past
projects include: - Habitat

nature trail building for Southside School

building for Truman Glick Park
