If leaves, stems or bark are exhibited, they should be identified with a label near the object on the same page. These labels should list (1) the proper common name; (2) location (city and/or county) where collected; and (3) date (day, month, year) collected. When exhibiting after more than one year in the project, group specimens by year collected. Educational displays may consist of groupings of leaves, bark, stems, or related to any aspect of forestry. Displays should be presented in a clear, concise and interesting manner. The purpose of educational displays is to learn more about the importance of forest ecosystems and forest life.
