Who: – Delaware school chapters of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) and teachers
– Delaware Forest Service trainer-educator Ashley Peebles and forestry staff
What: FFA teams will square off against each other in the 2013 “Forestry CDE Event,” a challenging test of tree identification skills, forestry tools and knowledge, and math-related abilities.

When: Tuesday, June 25 at 10 a.m.
Where: Kent County’s Brecknock Park, Rt. 13, Camden, DE (just south of Rodney Village Shopping Center)
Background:

At the 2012 Delaware Forestry CDE event, the Milford FFA team took first-place and went on to be recognized as a Silver Emblem chapter at the national event.
According to the National FFA website, “Career Development Events (CDEs) help students develop the abilities to think critically, communicate clearly, and perform effectively in a competitive job market.”
There are 24 CDEs, covering job skills in everything from communications to mechanics. Some events allow students to compete as individuals, while others allow them to compete in teams.
