Preliminary:Forestry

[Kokonilly]

Will forestry allow a field guide, a list, and a sheet of notes that you can take to the competition?
just like ornithology

It sounds as if Forestry will have a field guide, list of specimens, and at least a sheet of notes. Possibly a binder.

hm, a binder might be a mixed blessing
personally, i think i might favor another field guide instead of a binder...
because with binders, you have to flip through all of it, and that does take a while, no matter how skilled you are with it and how much you tab and organize it... :/

I would like it to be like fossils
1 field guide and 1 binder
because of the identification, field guides will be very useful

I feel like a binder is kind of like a field guide, just made by yourself.

[tuftedtitmouse12]

pretty much
because you can write all you want in field guides...

i am excited for forestry
i did it as a trial event at solon invitational and got 5th so i want to do it next year
i am using the list from 2005, to prepare over the summer
is that a good idea?

In my opinion, don't use the list that much. It may end up being almost the same list for 2012, but I would study general information about specimens before you start studying for something that may not even be the real list.

ya i am not completely using that list
i have other resources as well, like the audubon
thanks

Has anybody had any luck finding old tests on this event? I tried using Google to search around, but I haven't found anything.

No. I think it was an event 6 years ago so there haven't been many.
