Girl Scouts from the Pine Valley Council will take a walk in the urban forest this Saturday, to learn more about careers in natural resources and urban planning. About 150 girls aged 5 - 17 will gather at LaGrange First United Methodist Church on the LaGrange College Campus, where they will hear from women from the Georgia Forestry Commission, Auburn University, Technical Forestry Services and Natural Resources Conservation Services.

Activities will include informational walks in the community, a “build an urban forest” activity, soil texture and analysis, core sampling, how to plant a tree, tree inventory, drainage field analysis and surveying.
