18th Annual Heartwood Forest Council
Boy Scout Camp Oyo in the Shawnee State Forest near Portsmouth, Ohio
The theme of this year's Forest Council is "Burning Issues: Climate is a Forest Product." The Heartwood Forest Council is the largest annual gathering of citizens from across the Eastern, Midwestern, and Southern United States who care about the health and well being of our nation's forests. The Forest Council will be family friendly - kids of all ages are encouraged to attend - and will be interspersed with ample social time, leisure, lively local music, dancing and great food. This year's Forest Council will explore how we can nurture sustainable local and regional networks and a culture of cooperation and care. Together we will identify viable alternatives to the dominant economy and its toxic legacy of waste and prepare ourselves with the knowledge and tools to protect ourselves, our communities, and our planet.
