The Pennsylvania FFA State Convention is underway this week at Penn State University with thousands of FFA students from across the state in attendance. We have had a great time the last two days helping with the forestry Career Development Event (CDE). These are competitive FFA events that test students’ technical, leadership, and teamwork skills in Ag specializations. Yesterday we were on campus and today we dodged the raindrops in the Stone Valley Experimental Forest.

The Pennsylvania Implementation Committee was proud to sponsor this event alongside our partners at the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture's Hardwoods Development Council, Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry, Pennsylvania Forest Products Association, Allegheny Hardwood Utilization Group, Keystone Wood Products Association, Northern Tier Hardwood Association, Pennsylvania Forestry Association, and the Lumber Heritage Region of Pennsylvania, Inc.

The Pennsylvania Implementation Committee was proud to support and participate in this Pennsylvania 4-H event!
