NELSONVILLE, Ohio — When guests check-in at the newly renovated Lodge at Hocking College, they’ll be surrounded by the natural beauty of the technical community college’s Hocking Hills campus.
NELSONVILLE, Ohio—A group of Hocking College students wound their way through the trails at Wolf Creek Wildlife Area recently.
The ninth year of the Vinton Furnace State Forest’s A Day in the Woods program will be a little different.
For 25 years, Hocking College students from various programs of the School of Natural Resources have engaged in a month-long field school at Haliburton Forest in Ontario, Canada to study courses such as Wildlife Techniques, Fish Management, Canada Field Ecology, and Aquatic Ecology.
Hocking College recently welcomed James (Jim) Harding, Ph.D. to the staff as Hocking College’s new Forestry Program Manager.
Last month three representatives from The Davey Tree Expert Company visited Hocking College to make a donation to the school’s Forestry Club.
Mark Noark (Sales Arborist), Kris Bruestle (District Manager), and Jeff Crites (Operations Manager) presented to the Forestry Club Secretary, Chelsie Kotlar, with a check for $2,000.
The funds were used to help pay for the expenses of the club’s western forests trip which took place from May 3-19.
The presentation took place in room #213 of the Natural Resources building on the Hocking College campus. Also in attendance were members of the Forestry Club and their faculty advisor, James Downs.
Davey Tree’s donation marks the third time this company has helped fund a trip made by Hocking College's Forestry Club.
