Shasta College Forest Health
Forestry/NR, Heavy Equipment Logging Ops (HELO), Heavy Equipment Construction, Truck Driving & CRAFT
The first Heavy Equipment Operators Showcase connected students with industry, and several students are already moving into employment opportunities.
Thank you to our industry partners for investing in the next generation of operators. 🚜
Students from Willits High School traveled all the way to Shasta College to get a hands-on look at our Forest Health pathways and what college life is really like! 🌲🔥
They sat in on our Introduction to Wildland Fire and Beginning Forestry classes with Karine Hunt, heard from our Heavy Equipment instructor, visited the farm and wood products course area, toured the Fire Academy, and even got behind the controls of our logging and truck driving simulators.
Nothing beats real-world experience when exploring future career pathways! 💪🚜🚒

Natural Resources CTE Field Day at Horsetown-Clear Creek Preserve
Our Forest Health team and Forest Resilience Student Ambassador recently joined the Western Shasta RCD for their Natural Resources CTE Field Day at Horsetown-Clear Creek Preserve. High school students explored key topics including fire ecology, water resources, forestry, and pollinators & botany.
Did you know? Shasta College offers an A.S. in Forest Science & Technology, an A.S. in Natural Resources, and a Certificate in Natural Resources—giving students multiple pathways into the field.
While students build a strong foundation in the classroom, they also spend plenty of time learning outdoors—because some of the best lessons happen in the field.
Shasta View Academy AGNR-1 dual enrollment students got a firsthand look at our logging students in action! They learned all about HELO and CRAFT apprenticeship from our instructor, Jonas Lindblom.

Our first Forestry Open House was a success 🌲
In partnership with Siskiyou Works and the Western Shasta RCD, we welcomed students from Mt. Shasta, W**d, McCloud, and Hayfork for a day of hands-on experiences and exploration.
Getting students out of the classroom and into the field—this is what it’s all about.
