About
The Dartmouth Woodsmen's Team, also known as the Forestry Team, is an entirely student-run club that competes in lumberjack and woodcraft events throughout New England. Throughout the year Dartmouth competes against colleges from New England and Canada, and acts as host for the spring meet every three years (2009, 2012 etc.). If you're interested in learning how to throw an axe, use a cross-cut saw, chop through a tree or build a fire, blitz
FTD@dartmouth.edu to get on the list and hear about our beginner friendly practices.

Practices
Student leaders usually host between one and five practices a week. We spend two or three hours learning or practicing different events at the Oak Hill practice area, which is located above Storr's Pond. If you want to know the weekly practice schedule, blitz
