How do we get youngsters outdoors among the trees?  Why is this an issue?  What health benefits does activity in greenspace bring to children? What opportunities are out there to introduce the marvels and benefits of nature to kids?  Join us as we discuss these challenges.

 

Speaking will be Annie Hermansen-Báez, Science Delivery Coordinator/Center Manager, USDA Forest Service, InterfaceSouth Centers for Urban and InterfaceForestry, who will talk to us about the health benefits of getting kids outdoors and the More Kids in the Woods program.  George Bain, Supervisor of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest, will join us as well.  Bring your own ideas, suggestions, and experiences - we'll make time for an open forum discussion, too.  Finally, get to know historic Jefferson, Georgia, a small town named after President Thomas Jefferson and whose dynamic tree council is working hard to ensure a healthy tree canopy for present and future Jeffersonians.

 

Registration fee: $35 members, $45 non-members.  Lunch is included, and CEUs will be available.  After the program: optional walking tour of Jefferson and its plantings, weather permitting.
