Two Days at Judy's Place

Judy's Place 10/15 and 10/20

Recently, the Great Outdoor Track was treated to a couple of days on a beautiful 80 acre property near the Montana/Idaho border.  Regan from Kaniksu Land Trust was able to assemble some current and retired forestry folks from the state of Idaho and National Forest Service.  Clark Fork students and teachers learned tree identification, scaling, compass use/bearing, timber cruising, pacing, and map use.  We also performed a service of appreciation by pruning White Pine for blister rust protection.  Each day the students and teachers loaded up the bus tired and much more knowledgeable!  A sincere thank you goes out to all who helped make our Judy's Place Days so memorable.  We are excited to visit again.

October 8 - Clark Fork Delta

Idaho Fish and Game and Clark Fork "Great Outdoors" Track student combined forces on the CF Delta Tuesday.  We searched for and pulled hundreds of pounds of Hawkweed, Tansy, Thistle, and Mullen.  The students and teachers were also treated to an actual water study too.  It was a great day of community service and learning.   Thank you Kathy and Kate!  We had a great day!  See you again 10/22.
