I'm curious as to how you're using binders to study. We probably won't be allowed binders during the competition. Are you using them as portable study guides? And why do you need three?

Well sometimes you might have too much info to fit it in one. I know I can't.

I haven't even started forestry yet and you have 3 binders done! :O

We got one guide confiscated at Regionals because they said we could only have one! And we got half our notes taken away, too. The procter said that was the rules for regionals and states. So we didn't bring a second for states, and condensed our notes, only to find out that we could have two.
Are the trees limited to N. America, like birds? And if so, do they include the tons of introduced species?

from what i have heard, it is limited to trees just in North America.

Does this include the nonnative species? Such as (I believe the blue spruce) those which were brought here a loooong time ago?

The list will probably include a few nonnative or cultivated species (such as Ginkgo) for the sake of variety and educational potential. I'm pretty sure Blue Spruce is native though.

Even being non-native, they still have to grow in North America, no?

Yes, but not necessarily in the wild.
