On Saturday November 21, 2009, the NCSU Forestry Club will host Rolleo at the Schenck Memorial Forest in Raleigh. Rolleo is the Forestry Club's annual forestry and timbersports competition. It is a long-standing tradition with the club, and this year will prove to be one to remember. The Virginia Tech, Haywood Community College, and Montgomery Community College Forestry Clubs will all be coming to compete.
Rolleo consists of technical and physical events that are designed to pit the competing schools' forestry skills against one another. Technical events include dendrology, timber volume estimation, pole classification, photogrammetry and others. Physical events consist of crosscut sawing, underhand log chop, log role, pole felling, and others.
Rolleo is a great time for all the competitors and spectators. Technical events will begin around 8 am and go until lunch time, and physical events will begin before lunch. There will be competitions between faculty, grad students, and alumni as well!
All are welcome and encouraged to come and check out the events and support the NCSU Forestry Club! Supper will be catered by McCall's Seafood and BBQ after the events are finished on Saturday. Mark your calendar! All are Welcome!
Technical Events begin 8:00am
Physical Events begin 10:30am
Attendance is free
Lunch 12:00pm
Dinner 4:30pm
There will be a reasonable fee for meals, or pay only $20 and receive lunch, dinner, AND a Rolleo 2009 T-Shirt!
