                   CONGRATULATING BRADLEY COUNTY 4-H

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. BRUCE WESTERMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 9, 2019

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I extend my deepest congratulations to 
Bradley County's 4-H Forestry Team on their exceptional representation 
of Arkansas at the 40th Annual National 4-H Forestry Invitational.
  Braden Harrod, Gregory Hilliard, David McGhee, and Madison McGhee 
from Hermitage, Arkansas were named National Champions at the 4-H 
Forestry Invitational, leading Coach Joe Don Greenwood and Bradley 
County to their third championship title since 2016. In addition to 
this honor, Braden Harrod won the high point individual award at the 
competition.
  The national event featured skills testing in various areas such as 
tree identification, tree measurement, compass and pacing, insect and 
disease identification, topographic map use, forest evaluation, the 
forestry bowl, and a written forestry exam.
  Coach Greenwood and these students exhibited exemplary work ethic and 
superior skill in preparation for the championship. As a fellow 
forester, it is encouraging to see young Fourth District Arkansans 
nurture a knowledge of good resource management and stewardship. I look 
forward to witnessing the further success of these students as they 
continue to represent our district and state on a national level.
