 Recap: Field Station and Seminars

Field Trip

*    So the Richmond field station is a grave yard.

*    After a pause, Maddie interjects: “Well, what they use to do was super cool. The forest products lab was legit. There was a really cool wood library and a machine that tests the breaking point of a piece of wood. It was cool to see something that isn’t part of campus anymore.”

*    After another pause, Ricky interjects: “Biomass policy, bio energy, there is more to forestry than timber and carbon! There’s more products and services, don’t feel loped into getting becoming an RPF!”

*    These are paraphrased actually.

Seminars

*    Monday forestry talks are interesting, you should go to them.

*    Example: Joe’s talk about eucalyptus- is it a weed or a natural part of the ecosystem?

*    Bagels and coffee?? Monday seminars, bagels and coffee!
