Polk students learn about forests

Christian Davis, Allister Russel, Triston Watkins, Alex Green and Dillon Overholt pretend to be trees and Willow Arkell is the tree farmer who must determine why the tree in the middle isn’t growing as tall as the others. This was one of the skits students performed with Forest Ranger Dan Laudermelt during a recent 4-H Science Day Camp at Holbert’s Cove to help them better understand the importance of forests as a habitat and a natural resource. Organizers said Ranger Laudermelt’s station at the science camp is always a favorite of the students, and the students were sad to hear that Laudermelt will be retiring, making this his last year at the camp.
