Boundary County students competed at the 32nd
annual Idaho State Forestry Contest this past
Thursday, May 8, in Careywood, Idaho. And one
local student came back home with a third place
statewide finish. Malachi Rivkin, competing in the middle school students division, and representing Boy Scouts of America Troop 114, placed third at the state contest. We have a more detailed report on the way, but we wanted to get Malachi's achievement out there. The Idaho State Forestry Contest provides a series of testig sites for high school, middle school, and grade school students to competitively highlight their forest management skills. The contest is sponsored by the Idaho Department of Lands, Bonner Soil and Water Conservation District, and the USDA Forest Service. t is made possible through the support of many individuals and public and private organizations. |
