April 4, 2000 -- This spring, fifteen students from the UT Forestry Club/Student SAF Chapter attended the 43rd Annual Association of Southern Forestry Clubs’ Conclave held March 30th - April 2nd in Pineville, LA. Club members competed in eight technical and fourteen physical events ranging from dendrology to log chopping. Of fourteen teams representing forestry schools from throughout the South, the Forestry Club team placed first in Timber Estimation, second in Axe Throwing, and fourth in Log Birling, Archery, and Wildlife. Both participation and overall team success were up from last year. Partial funding for the trip was generously provided by Dean Albrecht, forestry professionals, and faculty members. Remaining funds were raised through sales of Christmas trees, t-shirts, and hamburgers.
