UPLB-CFNR retained the champion trophy earning the team P 15, 000.00 while the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University received the 3rd placed trophy and a cash award of P7, 500.00.

The NFO is a biennial event participated in by various State College and Universities (SUCs) offering a BS Forestry course nationwide. Its main objective is to provide a venue for showcasing knowledge and skills of the best and brightest students from the different forestry schools in the country and, at the same time, build camaraderie among themselves who will later join the forestry profession.
