Forestry (Formerly Treemendous)


Science Olympiad Coaches & Students,

Project Idea for Treemendous Teams:

Have students use digital cameras to take high quality photos of the various species of trees in your community which are listed below and send them to:

treemendous@scienceolympiad.com.

We will begin compiling an on-line photo album made up of great photos and give credit to the individuals who have taken the shots and their teams if that information is provided. As soon as sufficient resources are collected, a select group of students will begin organizing the photos and information which will have been collected. Hopefully this will result in a comprehensive tool specifically geared toward helping Science Olympiad students.

Thank you.

P.S. - A great way to conduct an internet search for specific
photos and information is to use the Google search engine and type in the genus species name of a specific tree. Good Luck!

As time allows, Northshore Charter School Science Olympiad
will be linking each species to the best resources available
for each specific species and/or resources provided by Science Olympiad students. Keep checking back to see how our site changes. Write if you would like to be involved with this building process.

- Currently, each species listed (and underlined) below has a hyperlink to the North Carolina State University College of Agriculture and Life Science or the Virginia Tech Forestry Department websites. Northshore Charter School Science Olympiad has culled their lists and made it easier for Science Olympiad students to learn more about the species specifically selected by Science Olympiad for competition. Note that it may take a bit of practice getting used to using this dynamic list as an interactive study resource. But, as you will see by using it, the culled, dynamic list should be helpful. One recommendation is to reduce the browser screen size of your first hyperlink to the width of the table outlining the species information. Doing this will allow you to easily close and return to the originally culled list at scienceolympiad.com.
