Conducted in the natural setting at the Allen Park Management Unit west of Durham, this three day event in October is designed for Grade 7 students.  They will experience: forest ecosystems, forest resource management, sustainability, biodiversity, species at risk, climate change, stewardship, etc.

The success of the Festival depends on the support we receive from our volunteers: secondary school students, industry professionals and community volunteers.

The Festival Committee Board consists of organizations that have a vested interest in educating children about managing our forests and forest ecosystems for the future.     (Grey Sauble Conservation, Saugeen Conservation, County of Grey, Hydro One Networks Inc., Bruce County, Stewardship Grey Bruce, Sydenham Conservation Foundation, Sydenham Sportsmen’s Association, Bluewater District School Board, Bruce-Grey Catholic School Board and Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry)
