Date: Saturday, September 13th, 2008

Time: 9:00AM

Location: Demonstration Forest, Williamsburg Township

Description: Our Annual Open House will feature the newly installed cultural heritage and natural resource interpretive signs made by students at the Tri County Technical Center, Foxcroft Academy and Greenville High School as part of the Demonstration Forest Community Development Project. The open house will also feature lively and engaging presentations on the cultural heritage and the natural resources of this region. The Demonstration Forest Community Development Project was funded by a grant from Project Canopy. Project Canopy delivers the community forestry program in Maine for the Maine Forest Service, the USDA Forest Service and the Pine Tree State Arboretum. It has a vision that every community will actively and wisely manage its forestry resources in a sustainable manner, and that all Maine citizens become well informed as to the proper management of these resources and the benefits derived from them. Through this project the forest will continue to grow as an educational, recreational and economic asset for this community. The forest and its programs are unique in Piscataquis County, and provide students and other visitors with a sense of the rich forestry heritage of this region.

Cost: This is a free event. However, donations are accepted.
