On National Public Lands Day, Saturday September 22, 2018, Friends of DuPont Forest is planning its first DuPont Forest Festival to celebrate the adventure, wildness, and beauty of DuPont State Recreational Forest. A full day of guided tours is planned: hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, educational lectures, and hands-on demonstrations.
One activity that intrigued me was “Optimizing Avenza Map App”, a map program on your mobile phone. For those who want real maps, there will be map and compass demonstrations¤
“I think of it as an outdoor conference that shows off DuPont Forest and teaches our communities about the importance of our public lands and their role in protecting them,” says Sara Landry, Executive Director of Friends of DuPont Forest.
The Friends group is looking for volunteers to help with logistics, since they expect a lot of visitors from all over the area and beyond. They’re also looking for business sponsors.
For questions about volunteering at the Forest Festival or about sponsorship opportunities, please contact Sara Landry at 828.713.2368 or [email protected].
