Although the school forests were a great asset of the school district, they were underutilized by the staff. Realizing this, a newly developed Forest Committee developed a plan and set goals to achieve in the following years. A timeline of goals was developed and completed since the formation of the committee. For more information on the progress and programs of the forest, please visit the Elcho School Forest web site.
