The theme for weekend interpre-
tive programs at Frances Slocum
State Park is Forests. This theme
was inspired by Gov. Dick Thorn-
burgh who has proclaimed 1986 as
The Year of the Forest.
The forest weekend begins on
Saturday, Aug. 16 at 2 p.m. with Mr.
Thomas Bast. Mr. Bast, Area Ento-
mologist of the Divisin of Forest
Pest Managment, Bureau of For-
estry, will conduct a field trip on
“Diseases of the Forest.” Through
show and tell Mr. Bast will look at
what diseases are found in the
forest and what they do, both
destructive and beneficial.
Mr. Bast has worked for the
Bureau of Forestry for the past 20
years. He is a graduate of Penn
State University at Mont Alto with a
degree in Forest Technology.
This program should be of itner-
est to the independent forest land-
owner as well as citizens with a
general interest in forests.
Sunday, Aug. 17 at 2 p.m., the
slide show “Our Forest Heritage”
will be shown. This show looks at
Pennsylvania’s development as a
forest state and how the PA State
Parks movement evolved. The
guided walk ‘Towering Trees’ will
follow the slide show. This walk will
examine various uses of our forests
ranging from uses by the American
Indians, to early settlers, to present
day.
Park visitors are encouraged to
gain a better understanding and
appreciation of our forests, a valua-
ble resource which have been
entrusted to our care.
Persons interested in these pro-
grams should meet at the Environ-
mental Information Bulletin Board
near the front of the boat rental
parking are. Programs will take
place in rain or shine.
