Each year the School of Forestry’s Forestry Club competes in the Association of Southern Forestry Clubs (ASFC) annual Conclave. The annual conclaves are hosted, on a rotating basis, by each of the 15 forestry schools across the south. Tech last hosted in 2006. At the conclave students compete in physical and technical events for three days. The physical events are similar to the Stihl Timbersports competitions as seen on ESPN. There are three events in which crosscut saws are used: Men’s, women’s, and Jack & Jill. Typical cutting times during competition range from five to nine seconds when cutting square 12″ by 12″ cants.
