Prince George for a solid week of

aspects of forest studies, ecology,
wildlife studies and outdoor sur-
vival, there'll be plenty of time

hiking and games.

Diana,

place in August and contest win-
ners will be notified by June 10,

‘ Innovative educational]

materials and forestry programs
have been the initiative of indi-
