The July sessions will be at Camp McCumber just east of Shingletown in Shasta County and at Humboldt State University, in Arcata in Humboldt County. The presenters and staff include science and environmental education curriculum specialists, public and private forest resource specialists and other natural resource managers, and forest activists.

What are FIT teachers are saying?
"I feel FIT is a wonderful program. I can tell that a lot of time, thought and consideration has gone into how the program is structured. My knowledge and understanding of issues surrounding our forests has increased dramatically. I appreciated hearing from people in the field (loggers, forest service, researchers, environmentalists, park service people, forester, industry people, etc.). I feel better prepared to share what I know and to bring forestry to my students."
