February is CTE Month!
Students enrolled in the Conservation and Heavy Equipment program at the Harrold Campus recently completed tree felling training as part of their forestry unit. Here, senior Kevin Conklin fells a large hemlock tree under the supervision of industry expert teacher Zach Whittaker. The forestry unit aims to equip students with essential skills in tree management and logging techniques. Kevin, who is undertaking this tree felling as part of his senior project, is carefully selecting trees to be harvested for saw logs. The lumber harvested from these felling activities will be used in various projects designed by fellow students in the CTE programs. “Practical experience in the field is invaluable,” according to Whittaker. “It bridges the gap between theory and real-world applications, preparing our students for future careers in forestry and related fields.”
