Have you ever seen the Stihl Timbersports competitions on ESPN and thought of how cool it would be to actually watch one of those contests up close and personal? On Saturday, April 25 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. you have the chance to come out to Central Wisconsin Environmental Station to cheer on your fellow Pointers as they compete against students from UW-Madison, Michigan Tech and the University of Minnesota.

Competitions will include the traditional axe throwing and crosscut sawing, as well as tree identification and a quiz bowl consisting of questions testing participants’ knowledge of various forestry topics. If you have questions, please contact Mike Schreiber at mschr493@uwsp.edu  or e-mail the Society of American Foresters at saf@uwsp.edu .
