Smokejumpers Zoom into Environmental Science
Mrs. Haberman’s Honors and 12-3 Environmental Science classes recently had a very exciting virtual visit from two Smokejumpers! In conjunction with their Forestry and Forest Management unit, two smokejumpers from Montana Zoomed in to speak with the class about their jobs as firefighters who parachute into forests to fight wildfires.
They showed the class all of their equipment, and explained how they prepare for missions. The students also had the chance to ask them about the dangers of their profession, their backgrounds, and what inspired them to become Smokejumpers. “It was very cool and informative,” says Mrs. Haberman. “The students really enjoyed it (and so did I)!”.
