Education Day at the Conference finds more than 1200 grade school age students checking out the equipment and displays as classes move about on guided work stations.  Logging Conference Directors and Industry Volunteers guide the classes through the grounds and buildings and through planned workstations where students can explore and many times have hands-on interaction with Natural Resource and Logging resources.  They have a chance to see (and sometimes sit in) the equipment, watch the Wildlife and Lumberjack Shows, and see the Vendor displays.

Each year, classes are asked to produce and submit a mural art work. These are displayed during the Logging Conference.  Top Murals are awarded cash prizes to be used in the classroom.

Visits by industry leaders to classes in local schools are encouraged.  Teachers can invite a Log Truck driver with his truck, a Forester or a Wildlife Manager to visit their classroom where students can get a more personal taste of the industry.  Redwood Region Logging Conference members are available for these classroom visits by appointment.
