Join us for Georgia ForestWatch's annual Fall Retreat and membership meeting at Vogel State Park, and help us celebrate ForestWatch's 30th anniversary. Vogel State Park is one of Georgia's oldest parks with stunning mountain views of Blood and Slaughter Mountains. It will be a wonderful weekend of hikes, community building, informative presentations and discussions, and socializing with old friends and new.

Come learn about ForestWatch's tumultuous beginnings from those folks who helped shape our history--Jim Sullivan, Brent Martin, Bob Kibler, and more. Our main program starts on S aturday at 10:00AM. It will be a day of storytelling with presentations and an interactive Q&A session.

Saturday afternoon you can relax on the banks of Vogel's Lake Trahlyta or participate in some of our activities. Bring your camera and go on a photography hike led by Peter McIntosh, or learn some plant identification with our Forest Ecologist, Jess Riddle.

This is a retreat you will not want to miss! Come just for the day, or stay over Friday and Saturday nights.

Catch up with old friends and meet new ones who share your interests and dedication to the preservation of our mountain forests! We have a great collection of raffle items including Patagonia clothing, a handcrafted quilt, pottery, and much more. Thank you to all of our generous donors!

Cost: $25/person, $40/couple, $15/students. Kids 12 and under are FREE. Includes all programming, light breakfasts, drinks, chili lunch, BBQ dinner and vegetarian entrees.
