SAF Chapter Sponsors Walk in the Forest

More than 130 Boy and Girl Scouts from the Troops in the metropolitan Atlanta region joined the Chattahoochee Chapter of the Society of American Foresters on A Walk in the Forest at Stone Mountain Park in October. The event gave the youth a chance to learn about the forestry profession and the SFI program in a region of the state where there is not a lot of exposure to forestry – and also gave them a chance to earn a Forestry Merit badge. Members of the Georgia SFI Implementation Committee were among the volunteers who guided each group through nine educational stations focusing on topics such as watersheds, urban forestry, forestry products, careers and tree identification.
