Field work at Placer Lodge
Amidst the pine and fir trees
in Shirt Tail Canyon above
Foresthill, Sierra College
students are finding out there’s
more to forest technology than
just a walk in the woods or a
picnic lunch everyday.
Forestry instructor Richard
Pryor puts Sierra’s forestry
students through plenty of field
work experience at the Baker
Divide Lodge before they can
complete the two year forestry
technician program at Sierra.
The lodge is in Placer County
on American Forest Products,
Corp. timber lands. They permit
Sierra’s foresters to set up
operations at the lodge each
semester, for four days at a time
about once a month for instructional purposes. The lodge
is a two story wooden structure,
remodeled by Sierra students to
accommodate 60 people or more
in any kind of weather.
Two years ago when Pryor’s
foresters first came to Baker
Divide, they had to literally
wash down the lodge, inside and
out, before they could set up
housekeeping. Now a caretaker
from the lumber company stays
there all year around.
