KANE — The registration deadline is approaching for the Roach-Bauer Forestry Forum, which is set for April 6 at the Kane Country Club.
The forum will have two speakers on the “Changing Face of Forest Recreation” — Dr. Don English of the National Office of the USDA-Forest Service in Washington and John Papalia of the Warren County Chamber of Business and Industry.
Papalia will cover the local perspective and community partnerships on forest recreation, including events such as the Kinzua Tango, Kinzua Classic and the National Canoe Racing Championships.
English will cover national and regional trends in forest recreation derived from national visitor use monitoring. He will also provide a specific discussion as it relates to patterns of use on the Allegheny National Forest and select Pennsylvania state forests, and then compare those patterns to the Northeast region of the Forest Service.
Registrations, which are required for the forum, are $25 through Thursday. Reservations from Friday through March 30 are $30. No reservations will be accepted after March 30. The cost for full-time students pursuing a natural resource degree is $10.
For reservations, contact the Allegheny Hardwood Utilization Group in Kane at 837-8550, by fax at 837-4950 or by email at hardwood@penn.com.
The Kane Country Club is located on U.S. Route 6 about 3 miles east of Kane. Preceding the talk will be a social hour from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., when dinner is served. The program will start immediately after dinner.
