Education Day Information
Education Day at the conference finds more than 1500 (2003 saw about 2400) grade school age kids checking out the equipment and displays
as classes move about on a sort of treasure hunt. Logging conference directors and other volunteers guide the classes through the
grounds and buildings looking for clues to question sheets given to the teachers as they start. The kids enjoy the game and learn
a lot. They have a chance to sit in and see the equipment, 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 at the logging conference. Judges choose the best of them and teachers are awarded cash prizes to be used in the classroom.
Visits by industry leaders to classes in local schools are encouraged. When a teacher invites a log truck driver with his truck, a forester or a wildlife manager for a talk, the kids get a more personal taste of the industry. Redwood Region Logging Conference members are available for these classroom visits by appointment.
