Tristan Wirkus of the Stratford FFA Chapter in Wisconsin uses the leadership skills he’s gained from FFA to educate the public about the importance of environmental stewardship in his community. He has served on the Stratford Village Tree Advisory Board, achieving Tree City USA status for the community for the last three years. Wirkus has also constructed and installed lending libraries along the Heritage Trail for the public, in addition to charting a tree identification course. He is supported by his parents, Becky and Tony, and his FFA advisors, Rebecca Wirkus and Troy Bargender. CHS sponsors this proficiency.
He discusses the details of his project with Broadcast Desk Intern, Lydia Johnson.
