Indiana Forest Fest OCT 26-28. Workshops, including Direct Action Training and Tree Climbing Classes |
Hello All!
The 3rd annual Indiana Forest Fest is just around the
corner! Please join us in celebration of a year of accomplishments in the protection of Indiana's Public Forests. This year's event will include great speakers,
workshops, music and food, as well as a great chance
to get involved in the protection of our public land!
We are also planning a fundraising auction to take
place during the event, so any art, craft, or other items that you would like to donate
for the auction can be dropped off at the IFA office
in the Bloomington Environmental Center in advance, or brought to the event.
Below is the brochure/registration. Please print the
registration and mail as directed. Contact information for any questions you may have are at the bottom.
I hope to see you all there!
Thanks,
Indiana Forest Alliance
