34th Family Forestry Expo

Bring the whole family and (rain or shine) enjoy a day outdoors! Take a walk along half-mile of chipped trail and learn about our area forests by visiting a backcountry campsite, testing your tree id and taking home a free conifer seedling, learning to be bear aware, checking out the many insects that live in our forest streams, learning how you can be "firewise" at your home in the woods and fire safe when camping, meeting the live owls and finding out what animals make their home in our beautiful and diverse NW Montana Forests!

Visit the exhibit tent and learn about the many organizations that help to take care of and manage our area forests-- don't forget to make a piece of paper and try your hand at using a cross-cut saw.

Logging equipment, logger sports, and pack-string demonstrations take place at 10:30 and 1 with a FREE logger lunch served between 11 and 1.

Event takes place 9am to 3pm, 2 miles north of the intersection of MT-40 and Hwy 2 at the Trumbull Creek Educational Forest. Call 751-2246 for more information.
