If you want to redo mounts to meet the new requirements you may do so. Mounted Forestry Specimens Tree and shrub specimens exhibit must be listed on the official forestry specimens list available in 4-H Forestry Exhibit Requirements and Classes (4-H 33121). For Seniors exhibiting wild flowers and ferns use the “other Reference Texts” list. Intermediate and Senior members must use the Specimen Collection Site Analysis Sheet for each specimen collected. Junior Division 441 100 011 Forestry Junior First Year: index 5 mounts, all must be trees 441 100 021 Forestry Junior Second & Third Year: Index 10-15 mounts, all must be trees.
