Forest Stewardship 

Millenial Tree 

Planted at 

Quilcene School 

Youth in the WSU Extension 

4-H Afterschool Forestry Program 

in Quilcene, Washington, 

recently planted their 1000th tree 

in Jefferson County. 

Lead teacher Sue Hay said, 

“This accomplishment showcases 

the environmental commitment of 

youth who have attended this fiveday 

a week program over an eightyear 

period. I am immensely proud 

of their persistence to achieve this 

remarkable goal.” 

Approximately 90 members 

participate in the 4-H Afterschool 

Forestry Program each year, learning 

about forest stewardship and 

planting trees in a wide variety 

of locations throughout Jefferson 

County. Project sites include Chimacum 

Creek, Snow Creek, Little 

Quil River, Tarboo Creek, the Lake 

Leland watershed, and the Quilcene 

School and Community Center, as 

well as on private lands in south 

Jefferson and Clallam Counties. 

A recent forestry day camp 

had the theme, “Survivor.” Participants 

learned how survival of 

Native American people in the 

Northwest greatly depended on 

salmon and western redcedar trees. 

To honor this history and wise use 

of resources, the 1000th tree was a 

western redcedar planted on the 

grounds of the Quilcene School. 

People might doubt the abilities 

of these young 4-H stewards— 

many of whom are no more than 

five or six years old—yet their 

knowledge and skills are evident 

in their work. They carefully chose 

the location for this special tree 

between two Douglas-firs, a shady 

spot to ensure the survival of the 

cedar. They immediately brought 

Staff and youth in the Quilcene 4-H Afterschool Forestry Program plant their 1000 th tree. 

water from a nearby creek to saturate 

the soil and to help the tree 

adjust to the planting. Participants 

use tools with confidence and are 

unafraid to get their hands dirty 

to complete the process. Ginny 

Beard, lead teacher, said, “We were 

amazed at the effectiveness of the 

kids. They can really get a lot done 

with their tiny shovels. Their selfconfidence 

showed when they 

planted over 50 trees in less than 

an hour.” 

The experience and knowledge 

that these youth have gained 

through the 4-H Afterschool Forestry 

Program has given them a 

broad practical exposure to many 

stewardship principles: forest management 

and restoration, watershed–forest 

connections, habitat 

restoration, water quality, noxious 

weed identification and removal, 

backcountry survival, and the 

“leave no trace” concept. 

The 4-H Afterschool Forestry 

Program is supported by WSU 

Extension 4-H and funded by the 

U.S. Forest Service and Jefferson 

County through the Secure Rural 

Schools Title III. Some projects 

in which the youth participate 

have special significance to the 

1 

Olympic Peninsula. For example, 

the replanting of Tarboo Creek in 

collaboration with the Northwest 

Watershed Institute focuses on 

restoring habitat for native salmon. 

Another planting project along 

the Little Quil River, in the Jefferson 

County Conservation District, 

taught the youth how to plant bare 

root trees in difficult terrain. 

Many of the teen stewards who 

have participated in the program 

for a number of years help encourage 

the younger children in the 

process. As Heather Truesdel says, 

“It’s true that I’ve learned a lot 

about environmental stewardship 

through the 4-H Afterschool Forestry 

Program, but in many ways I’ve 

learned more about life and how 

to become a responsible leader in 

my community.” 

Project leaders say many people 

and organizations helped with this 

4-H educational project and would 

like to thank them all for their 

commitment to successful youth 

leadership development. 

if you would like to become involved 

in the program or want to help plant 

the next 1000 trees, contact sue hay 

at 360-774-1569.

WSU ExtEnSion 4-h Know your governMent conFerence 2010 

Lobbying 

for Change 

By Betsy Fradd, WSU Extension 4-H 

it’s a civics experience that transforms high school 

students into young adult activists. the 2010 wsu 

extension 4-h Know your government conference challenged 

teens to pick bills currently under consideration 

in the legislature and take a stand. the “lobbying for 

change” mandate found youth arguing both sides 

of controversial bills including human trafficking, the 

death penalty, and firearms safety. 

rayla, 16, spoke in favor of gun safety classes in 

schools. “i was surprised to learn that anyone could 

speak about a bill before the legislature,” said the 

clarkston resident. “now, if there’s an issue that could 

affect me, i would definitely stand up and speak about 

it—in my community and at the state level.” 

over 250 teens came from around the state for the 

four-day event in olympia. they lobbied bills in mock 

committee hearings in both the house and senate. 

votes were taken, amendments passed, and in the end 

11 out of the original 35 bills were approved. 

naturally fed beef standards labeling was an issue 

important to 18-year old Jeremy of tacoma. 

“the conference gives me an inside look at how our 

legislature works. it allows us all to voice our opinions 

and creates the best solution for the largest amount 

of people.” 

teens heard from experienced lobbyists about 

working with decision-makers and the myriad of methods 

used to exert influence. at the annual legislative 

Breakfast lieutenant governor Brad owen defined 

2 

an effective lobbyist as a person who has “respect, 

knowledge, persistence, and determination.” 

capitol tours, meetings with legislators, and visits 

to state buildings were also part of the Know your 

government experience. youth learned first-hand how 

lobbyists can impact legislation. 

“our youth delegates discover how critical thinking, 

communication, and decision making are part of 

the lobbying process,” said Jan Klein, wsu extension 

4-h state teen leadership coordinator. “their actions 

and involvement strengthen their skills as responsible, 

contributing citizens.”

4-H Know Your Government 

Conference 2011 

Politics and the Media 

February 19–22, 2011, olympia 

the Know your government (Kyg) conference serves 

to strengthen the connection between youth and our 

political and social networks through education, experience, 

application, and inspiration. this connection will 

motivate delegates to be participants in democracy. 

this year’s focus will be on how the media and politics 

intertwine to inform the public on issues and solutions. 

youth will produce a media piece and learn how to 

initiate positive action in their communities. 

4-H Summer Teen Conference 

June 26–28, 2011, wsu Pullman 

reach your full leadership potential, have fun, and 

experience college life at the summer teen conference 

in Pullman. this three-day program features action-filled 

activities, educational workshops, national speakers, 

college and career information, and recreation. live 

in dorms on the washington state university campus, 

learn about college life, and meet others from across 

the state to network and share new experiences.

“T 

Teens Step into Their Future 


his is the best experience I’ve had in my life,” said 

16-year old Mistika who’s dream is to become a registered 

nurse. Mistika, from Chelan County, was one 

of over 400 youth from around the state who took 

part in the 2010 WSU Teen Conference in Pullman. 

“Where I live kids often don’t finish high school and 

give up. I want something different for myself. I want 

to work in a hospital and help older people.” 

The conference theme, “Step into Your Future,” 

provided three days of diverse workshops, inspiring 

speakers, and college-related experiences designed to 

show life’s myriad options and how to achieve them. 

Siobhan, 14, from Okanagan County took part 

in the Interviewing and College Search seminars. 

“Before this conference things seemed overwhelming. 

Now, it’s more manageable and I know how to work 

myself through it.” 

Youth from rural towns as well as major metropolitan 

areas filled the WSU dorms, toured the campus, 

and heard from speakers about how challenges can 

turn into opportunities for greater awareness, selfdiscovery, 

and fulfilling lives. 

“Teens from different cultural and economic backgrounds 

were able to connect with resources, explore 

possibilities, and find answers to take their next 

steps,” explained WSU 4-H Teen Leadership Coordinator 

Jan Klein. “The workshops, presenters, and 

activities helped expand their knowledge of what is 

available to them.” 

Over fifty sessions examined how to get into college, 

secure financial aid, and strategize for success. 

Teens also took part in hands-on science workshops, 

how to manage money, television production, urban 

horticulture, and classes on making wise career and 

personal choices. 

“This conference encouraged me to be successful 

and not to quit,” said 13-year old Jorge from Thurston 

County. “There were so many cool things to do 

and fun people to meet. It was totally life changing.”

Skateboard Park Tests 

Skills, Provides Options 

a new skateboard park is proving the place to 

be for a group of 4-h’ers in columbia county. 

over a dozen middle schoolers use the Dayton 

city Park addition to perfect their grinds, heelflips, 

and other skills. 

“our youth are having fun and learning cooperation 

skills, respect, and how to value themselves, 

each other, and their community,” said leslie 

sweetwood, leader of the columbia county curb 

stompers. 

the 4-h’ers held several fundraisers and helped 

with the design, grant application, and planning 

of the exhibition event. with the support of the 

city council, the $37,000 facility was completed in 

november 2009 and now all youth have access to 

the park. 

“the group worked hard and saw the results. 

the cooperation and communication between 

adults and kids to get things done has been exciting 

for everyone involved,” said sweetwood.

Grassoline—the Next Gasoline? 

Youth Discover Biofuels 

in National Experiment 

More than 2,000 Pierce County youth will join 

millions across the nation on October 7th to conduct the “Biofuel Blast” experiment. Youth 

become scientists for the day, discovering how 

ordinary household products can be used to create 

alternative energy and how fuel powers many of the 

things we use each day. 

In an experiment, youth will combine corn syrup 

and yeast in a bottle and cover it with a balloon. 

They will watch as the yeast breaks down the natural 

sugars in the corn, which releases ethanol and 

gas that inflate the balloon. They’ll have discussions 

on how plants—such as corn, switchgrass, sorghum 

and algae—can be converted into fuel and how these 

alternative energies can be used in their communities. 

Twelve-year-old Sara from Tacoma practiced the 

experiment early and said, “I enjoyed doing the 

experiment, recording the results, and making a poster 

of my findings. I plan on researching more about 

how to become a chemical engineer after doing this 

experiment.” 

To combat a national shortage of young people 

pursuing science college majors and careers, 4-H has a 

goal to engage one million new young people in science, 

engineering, and technology programs nationally 

by 2013. 

“4-H knows the value of youth being engaged 

as explorers of science and engineering,” said Brian 

Brandt, WSU Pierce County Extension 4-H faculty. 

“This experiment allows youth to get hands-on experience 

in the emerging biofuels industry. Today’s 

youth will be tomorrow’s successful scientists.”

Soaring to New Heights 

Museum of Flight Provides 

History, Wonder, Possibilities 


They created flight plans, experimented with 

inertia, and, from inside a flight simulator, flew from 

Seattle’s Boeing Field to Paine Field in Everett. Washington 

State University Extension 4-H’ers discovered 

how pilots and scientists think and work at the Museum 

of Flight Sleepover in early May. 

Twenty-eight youth, along with ten adult chaperones, 

experienced hands-on activities including how 

to do a pre-flight check of an aircraft, receive directions 

from the control tower, and take over the controls 

to navigate a safe landing. 

“Youth learned how different types of weather and 

weight can impact a flight,” said Janet Edwards, WSU 

Extension 4-H Afterschool Specialist. “They were able 

to get a sense of how pilots navigate and make split 

second decisions based on many factors.” 

With guidance from Museum of Flight instructors, 

youth turned two-liter bottles into high-flying 

water rockets, learned the physics of rockets, and 

what makes them fly. A late night tour of the Flight 

Museum provided opportunities to learn about the 

different aircraft on display. 

“This experience stretched their imaginations 

and opened up possibilities for their future,” said 

Edwards. “Being in a simulator and at the controls 

as a youth may be just the spark needed to become 

involved in aerospace in the coming years.” 

Barnyard Champs: Sewing Project in the Bag 

Ruth Ladderud (leader), John Neal, Sarah Jameson, 

Ashley Bennett, Evan Jameson, Mary Neal, Chris 

Neal, Anthony Neal, Seth and Jared Guttromson, 

Mirney Wagner (sewing leader). David Neal and 

Jerry Ladderud are in front of Seth and Jared. 

By Sarah Jameson and Mary Neal 

over the past seven years, the wsu walla walla county extension 

Barnyard champs 4-h club has sewn over 1700 book bags 

for the head start/eceaP program at Blue ridge school. in June 

2010 the 4-h group personally delivered 242 bags to children at 

head start and were greeted by many smiling faces. the 13 club 

members who helped sew bags were anthony neal, annie ladderud, 

chris neal, liz wood, Kyle Jameson, Mary neal, sarah Jameson, 

seth and garred guttromsen, ashley Bennett, evan Jameson, John 

neal, and Jerry ladderud. 

the Barnyard champs 4-h club took on this community service

Youth and Community Grow Together

Community Garden Project 

Takes Root in City Park 

By Lisa Frink, WSU Wahkiakum County Extension 

4-H Afterschool Program Coordinator 

Middle and high school 4-H youth are 

learning how to build sustainable food systems 

in Wahkiakum County. These WSU 

Wahkiakum County Extension 4-H youth, 

in collaboration with the town of Cathlamet 

and Wahkiakum County Health and Human 

Services, are creating a community garden 

in their local city park. 

The goals of the project include engaging 

youth in educational, healthy activities 

during after school hours and summer vacation, 

increasing the accessibility of fresh 

vegetables and fruits, teaching the basics of 

gardening, and how to create healthy meals 

with the fruits of their labor. The community 

garden is a wonderful place to get people 

connected to their environment and instill 

a sense of guardianship to the community 

at large. 

4-H youth are taking time-lapse photos 

during the summer and filming activities 

such as planting parties to assist with public 

relations for the community garden. The 

youth plan to compile a video to post to 

their YouTube account documenting the 

progress of the garden throughout the year. 

They will also share the link with collaboration 

partners. 

When the fruits and vegetable are ready 

to be harvested, 4-H youth will create 

healthy meals and snacks from the community 

garden to learn cooking, baking, 

and preservation skills. Some food will be 

donated to the local food bank to help low 

income families have fresh fruits and vegetables 

this summer. 

As food is harvested from the garden, 

4-H youth will track what is removed, the 

weight of the items, and set a market value 

per pound for each item in the garden. This 

information will be used in further grant 

writing to keep the community garden 

funded and established in the community.

Whatcom County 4-H’er 

is NASA Bound! 


Erin Weisenhorn likes challenging and unique 

opportunities. When thinking about what she wanted 

to do this summer Erin brainstormed her talents 

and interests and decided working for NASA would be 

her dream job. She is also a planner. In the spring of 

2009 Erin, 18, researched and found NASA’s INSPIRE 

year-round online program for students interested in 

science, technology, engineering, and math. 

In addition to her senior year classes at Windward 

High School in Ferndale, Erin took part in NASA’s 

educational community. 

“I did labs, quizzes, projects, and online lectures,” 

said Erin. “Each of the activities lets you accumulate 

points which are part of the selection process of summer 

interns.” 

Erin will be working in the bioengineering department 

at Ames Research Center in Los Altos, California. 

“The department is engineering a mimic of a cellulosome, 

an enzyme complex, which degrades cellulose, 

the material in plant cell walls and one of the 

most abundant carbohydrate polymers,” explained 

Erin. “The cellulose is degraded to glucose which can

Oregon where she plans on pursuing a science degree. 

“I enjoy the creative problem solving and the possibility 

of a career where I can be working outside,” 

said Erin. “There is also the possibility of a lot of different 

careers that revolve around public service. I 

want to find a job doing something I believe in.”

skills that will benefit me for the future,” 

said conor. “i have developed organization 

skills, the ability to work with others, wise 

use of my time, and how to speak in front

Practicing the Four Hs (Head, Heart, Health, & Hands) 

Eco-Stewardship Program 

Receives Recognition 


They tag salmon, track mule deer, and build 

needed trails. Those activities and a host of 

other environmental projects are helping teens in 

North Central Washington make a difference in 

their future. 

The WSU Extension 4-H Eco-Stewardship program, 

facing elimination due to budget cuts, was 

recently honored by 4-H National Headquarters and 

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with the 2010 Connecting 

Youth with Nature through Natural Resources 

Conservation Education Award. Only the top 4-H 

“Programs of Distinction” in the nation qualify for 

the $10,000 award. Along with additional state money, 

these funds will allow the program to continue 

while other funding is pursued. 

“This program changed my life,” said Briana 

Head, who restored trails and worked at two fish 

hatcheries. The 19-year-old from Cashmere explained 

that involvement in Eco-Stewardship “offered me a 

chance to learn new things, and opened the doors of 

opportunity to careers because I met adults who were 

established in their fields.” 

Now in its eighth year, the 4-H Eco-Stewardship 

Program has served over 18,000 teens from Chelan 

and Douglas counties. Youth participating in high 

school and summer programs assist with Chinook 

and Coho salmon spawning activities, water quality 

and quantity monitoring in regional streams and

rivers, and re-vegetation efforts to reduce erosion and 

improve fish spawning habitat. 

“The 4-H Eco-Stewardship Program has a unique 

impact on young people,” said WSU Chelan County 

Extension Director Ray Faini. “Youth work with forestry 

and wildlife experts to insure their efforts are 

accurate, reflect critical thinking skills, and be a part 

of implementation. As a result, teens stay in school 

and move into college or careers and have better 

chances for meaningful employment.” 

The award recognizes outstanding 4-H program 

development, implementation, and evaluation in 

wildlife conservation and environmental education. 

Over 30 local, state, and federal agencies partner 

with the program to provide guidance and direction 

in projects focused on restoration and maintenance 

of wilderness lakes, streams, and trail systems. Local 

school recycling programs further reduce the carbon 

footprint and impacts on landfills. 

“The youth in our program know they are making 

a significant difference in their community and 

the local environment,” said Kevin Powers, Director 

of the WSU 4-H Eco-Stewardship Program. “The program 

is tailored to the 4-H model. Our students keep 

journals, do presentations, and go in the field sharing 

their learning and knowledge with others.”
