Has anyone (grads, probably) done this event before?
I've already purchased the Sibley guide to trees, since IMO it is the superior tree guide on the market. There is a much smaller range of guides for trees than there is for birds.

Preliminary:Forestry
Preliminary discussion for Forestry. This was created in order to keep the important thread clear of clutter
-The path of the Administrator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.
-Nothing\'s gonna get deleted. We\'re gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what\'s Fonzie like? Come on, what\'s Fonzie like?
-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

Re: Forestry
My school has 4 or 5 forestry binders from years ago. Do you think we can bring as many resources as we want (like the Trial Event) or only 1 binder?

Re: Forestry
Why not? Plants and plant physiology are a vert important of biology. I'm not looking forward to the ID part as much, but it's the same thing as birds or fossils.paleonaps wrote:I don't want forestry to become an event.

Re: Forestry
This event sounds somewhat fun, and yeah, plants are pretty important.

Re: Forestry
I'm actually not excited for the plant physiology but the ID. Animal anatomy (especially human anatomy) is far more interesting than plant, I think.amerikestrel wrote:Why not?

Re: Preliminary:Forestry
Of all the ID events, I'd be most likely to do this one, because I don't like to go messing around with animal physiology. That's just not me. And I understand why you may not be interested in it, but I think plant ID events have a place in SO too.

Re: Preliminary:Forestry
It's interesting that with the elimination of Ecology and Ornithology in favor of Water Quality and Forestry, there would be no remaining events about non-human animals. Although Water Quality may include a bit of water-creature information, I don't think it would be enough to make up for the major void that would exist with no remaining zoological events.

Re: Preliminary:Forestry
This will replace Ornithology in both divisions right?
