"We hope you come out and find out why we call it the best fest in the Midwest "
That's Chantel Kuczmarski, Community Engagement Coordinator for Trees For Tomorrow in Eagle River. She's talking about Trees For Tomorrow's Forest Fest going on Saturday(7/28).
She says the event highlights what sustainable forestry means...
"....Forest Fest is a fun, free, family event that celebrates all the forest has to offer. Saturday, July 28, attendees will learn learn about the heritage and legacy of Wisconsin's timber industry and sustainable modern day techniques and equipment through demonstrations and hands-on activities. Our programs will focus on sustainable management of our natural resources, including wood harvesting, wood products, wilderness, wildlife, water quality, recreation and more...."
