Forestry Club sends two members to the SAF National Convention in Spokane, Washington

This past week the Texas A&M Student Chapter of the Society of American Foresters was proud to send two of our members to the SAF National Convention in Spokane, Washington. At the convention, Oakland Hoffman and Dan Gaskins participated in a number of technical presentations as well as getting an in-depth look at the national picture of our timber resources and industry that a classroom simply cannot provide. Through their involvement with the club, the Texas A&M SAF was happy to be able to allow these two students to participate in an experience that will no doubt allow them to further their knowledge of our forest resources and provide them with a competitive edge in the job market. This opportunity would not have been possible without the generosity and assistance of those who support the Texas A&M Student Chapter of the Society of American Foresters and share our common passion for our forests and timber resources. To all of those who have helped us through donations and participation on the Footprints 5K race this past spring, thank you for your support and generosity. On behalf of the Texas A&M SAF, I want to thank you all and ask for your continued support in the future endeavors of the club.

Thanks and Gig ‘Em!
