 Family Forest Fair '97 will be on Saturday, June 14 at the Washington
County Fairgrounds, just west of Greenwich on Route 29, from 9 am to 5
pm.

 FFF '97 is sponsored by the Capital District and Southeastern Adirondack
Chapters of the New York Forest Owners Association, New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation, and Cornell Cooperative
Extension.

 The program will include exhibits by many environmental organizations,
including Bat Conservation International, Ruffed Grouse Society, Audubon
of Washington County, Saratoga Land Conservancy, Project Learning Tree,
and many others.

 Ward Stone (NYS DEC) will present an environmental exhibit.  Melodie
James, wildlife rehabilitator, will bring raptors.  A collection of
photographs from the Crandall Library depicting the early days of
logging in the Adirondacks will be shown at FFF '97.

 A new bluebird trail along Route 22 from Austerlitz to Ticonderoga will
be started with 200 bluebird boxes which will be built at the fair by
scout and 4-H groups, and others willing to lend a hand.

 Smokey Bear and Ronnie Raindrop have been invited, and many hands-on
activities for children will be provided in the "Kids' Den."

 There will be a Craft Show featuring crafts of wood, and commercial
vendors will offer a variety of products related to forest products.
Some booths are still available.  For information on space for your
forest-related products, or your environment-related display, reply by

 Wood is New York State's most important renewable resource, and the New
York Forest Owners Association will provide information on forest
stewardship and management for healthy forests.

 Admission is $1 for adults, and children are free.  Food will be
available on the grounds.
