The Forest "Conservation is Beauty"

 

A Romance of the Redwoods

We will have a member of the Forestry Service give an informative talk to preserving the Forests of Ohio. Ohio's forests are a tremendous asset to its citizens. Forests cover almost one out of every three acres and are important to urban dwellers and rural landowners alike. Forests provide many benefits as homes for wildlife, playgrounds for recreationists, vistas for sightseers, and filters for air and water. Ohio's forests are the foundation of a multi-billion dollar wood industry and grow some of the finest hardwood trees in the world. So be sure to join us at the home of Maggie Sexton.

ROLL CALL: What gardening do you delegate and to whom?

HOSTESS:  Sheila Metcalf and Maggie Sexton

PLANT FOR CHANCE: Ellen Comley
