C. CALENDAR OF CLUB ACTIVITIES 
This calendar by no means contains all of the activities listed in 
section B. It is intended merely to show how the various lines of 
work may be grouped and how they will fit into the different seasons. 
Clubs will probably want to change the outline to meet their individual 
needs. Wherever possible they should stress such activities as tree 
planting, woodland management, fire prevention, cooperation with 
Federal and State officers, and all phases of woods work. Clubs in 
cities having few or no facilities for doing this will necessarily fall 
back upon other activities. 
JANUARY = 
Survey forestry movement in the United States and study existing forest 
conditions. 
Visit a lumbering operation or sawmill. Learn the story of wood from the 
forest to the finished product. 
Study different kinds of woods, their uses and physical properties. 
Make a collection of wood specimens; label and mount them for exhibition. 
Tree study—winter buds. Collect buds and twigs for observation. 
FEBRUARY 
Make a study of the forestry work of your State. 
Study the miscellaneous products of the forest—paper, maple sugar, naval 
stores, tanbark, etc. If there is a sugar bush, turpentine still, or paper mill in 
your locality, pay a visit to it. 
Tree study—outline life history of a tree’s growth from a cross section cut 
from it. Discuss parts of tree shown in cross section.
