Yesterday, Dewberry Lands welcomed women of all ages to the property for a fun and educational day. It started with a welcome to the ladies followed by a trip to the "Woods" for a short walk. Some of the history of the property was shared by Lamar and Felicia.
Ekan Duts Ke, what does it mean?
This was followed by a short talk by Leigh Peters, a forester and director of the Alabama Tree Farm Program.
Memorie English a representative with the American Forest Foundation was in attendance for the walk.
New friends interested in forestry were made.
After the walk Gloria Neilsen with the U.S. Forest Service over the Talladega National Forest in our area and also a forester spoke about the National Forest and her roll as the ladies looked over the view of the forest from Dewberry Lands.
After returning to the lodge a nice meal was shared by all the participants.
