Alexandra Lewis, a USDA Forester in the Nantahala Ranger District will offer a presentation to shed light on valuation of forests. The presentation will touch on how a forest is valued relative to quality of life and flora sustainability. 

Lewis will teach ways to determine board feet in a tree and other uses of the tree like carbon dioxide, water usage, canopy and habitat. She engages all ages and interests through show and tell. She will also show ways to protect our forests as essential to life of all kinds.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Aug. 8 at the Macon County Library. All are invited. No membership is required to attend.
