March 26 Field Training
This will be primarily an outdoor event so dress for the weather. It will take place at the Little Tract Forest and adjacent Green Legacy Tree Nursery. Both are located on Wellington County Road 34 just east of County Road 32 between Guelph and Cambridge. The Little Tract is a diverse forest and the Green Legacy facilities are the largest municipally owned tree nursery in the province - providing over 150,000 free or highly subsidized native trees to Wellington county residents and community groups.
On this day we will be breaking students into four groups and running concurrent hands-on sessions focusing on wildlife and forestry. A third session will involve a tour of the nursery by Green Legacy staff, followed by some good honest volunteer work at the nursery by the students to support the Green Legacy program while at the same time offsetting our transportation emissions to make the day carbon neutral. I'll provide more details as the date approaches. The event will run from 9:15 AM to 2:30 PM. Teams should bring their own lunches.
April 16 Competition Day
The competition this year will be taking place at the Puslinch Community Centre, which is conveniently located south of Guelph in Aberfoyle, very close to highway 401. This facility should be perfect for the competition as it has a large auditorium, an adjacent large meeting room for presentations, and a large common area that can be used to prep the presentations. Outside, there is a woodlot nearby as well as a coldwater stream (Mill Creek) flowing through the property. Lunch will be provided.
