Lejins Leads Environmental Camp

Regional Supervisor Michelle Lejins led a full-day outdoor education experience this spring with the Unite Environmental Camp in Northern California.

"We take students on a nature hike where we emphasize many of the benefits and uses of trees and their ecology," said Michelle. "We teach them traditional forestry measurement techniques as well as do other activities, including presentations and nature-based scavenger hunts. We also help create pages for the camp workbook that students take home with them, and it includes workbook activities and descriptions of local tree species. To date, we have had over 1,000 Shasta County kids participate in the CNUC forestry activities."

This camp is a unique opportunity for Michelle to exemplify our values of knowledge and teamwork while making a positive local impact. Great work, Michelle!
