I found the old forestry binder, which wasn't too useful, but I also found many tests, which I will upload later. The most important thing I found was that IL has actually released a very short (50-60 specimen) list of trees to use for state, which is extremely useful. I think the forestry test they gave was not heavily specimen based, but rather more multiple choice.

Our team hasn't even brought a book for fossils, they just put all the pages inside the binder, and they did pretty well also.

Also, we beat you guys at Fossils at nats
