There is a 2,000 acre tract that Westervelt owns 15 minutes from the high school that could serve as a place for forestry classes to practice some of the necessary skills taught in forestry courses. There would also be opportunities for classes to see common forestry operations that take place on this tract such as timber harvesting, mechanical site preparation, fertilization, or tree planting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cMy goal is to establish an agreement between Westervelt and the Clinch County School System for high school students to utilize a tract near the Homerville city limits for practical in-woods training for field work in forestry classes or for FFA forestry event training.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":729,"featured_media":30273,"template":"","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"peopletitleposition":"Suwannee Pine Forest Manager, The Westervelt Company","footnotes":""},"caes-people-group":[8],"class_list":["post-30213","caes-people","type-caes-people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","caes-people-group-current-class"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/agl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/caes-people\/30213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/agl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/caes-people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/agl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/caes-people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/agl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/729"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/agl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/caes-people\/30213\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30521,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/agl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/caes-people\/30213\/revisions\/30521"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/agl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/agl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"caes-people-group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/agl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/caes-people-group?post=30213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
