Dabney S. Lancaster Community College’s Forestry Team brought home the winning trophy and a new Stihl 461 chainsaw, placing well enough in several events to win the 2015 John G. Palmer Intercollegiate Woodsman’s Team Competition held Oct. 10 at the Pisgah National Forest in western North Carolina, the site of the first forestry school started by Gifford Pinchot. Seven forestry schools competed in the event, which was hosted by Haywood Community College.

“The crowd of spectators was outstanding,” noted Scott Reigel, DSLCC Forest Management Technology program lead. “Some of the team members’ families traveled long distances to support us.” Reigel said that all of the team members made outstanding efforts, and he particularly thanked Trevor Saville, a DSLCC graduate who served as a coach, as well as Lucas Barber, also a DSLCC graduate, who assisted. Joe Thacker, interim program head, serves as advisor to the team.

“This was a very tough competition – earning our victory was difficult,” noted Reigel.
