School children, their teachers, Volusia County Council members, media representatives and the Airboating Sportsmen will gather at Lake George Forest Management Area Park from 8:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. The goal is to introduce children to the forest and its resources. The Society of American Foresters will provide instruction on usage of wood products, information on what foresters do, how trees grow, and some basics in wildlife identification and tracking. A barbeque lunch will immediately follow the “walk�. For the seventh consecutive year, volunteers from the Lake County Airboat Club will transport children and their instructors into the shallows of Lake George where the forest meets water.
