Forestry book donated to library The Grove Hill Public Library is the recipient of the book: Forests For All by Melanie Richardson Dundy. Forests For All was donated by the Alabama Forest Owners' Association Educational Fund through a grant from the Alabama Forests Forever Foundation. In making its donation, the Alabama Forest Owners Association wants to provide sound information about forests and forest management to the children (and future forest owners) in Clarke County. Forests For All is a book that children will thoroughly enjoy while they learn about the importance of forests and forest management. With the help of Bo The Bull Elk, J.D. Beaver and their entertaining forest friends, children learn the importance of forests, the measures being taken to meet the demand for wood and wood products while ensuring the future health of forests, and the need for all to work together to protect the future of the forests. The book, which is intended for children from ages 4 to 10, is fun, interactive and full of good information. Children become aware of just how much the forests affect their everyday lives whether they live near a forest or not.
The Alabama Forest Owners' Association (AFOA) is a nonprofit association dedicated to providing management and ownership assistance to current and future owners of the 23 million acres of forested land in Alabama. More than 6,000 members participate in a wide variety of association activities throughout the state. To learn more about the association or about events of interest to forest owners, call AFOA at 205- 987-8811 or visit AFOA's website at www.afoa.org .
