Loyalhanna TimberFest

4:00 - 7:00 pm 


We are excited to host our first ever Loyalhanna TimberFest, celebrating the vast history and mystery of our local timber and forestry industry, featuring the one and only Pennsylvania WoodMobile!  The 34-foot  WoodMobile is a great way for people to learn about the state's forest industry. You can learn about the history of forests, threats like bugs and diseases, and even touch different types of wood. It also shows how forest products are made. In addition, we are pleased to host partners from DCNR-Forbes State Forest, the Westmoreland Woodlands Improvement Association, PA Master Naturalists and others. 

This FREE event is appropriate for all ages and will be held in the lower field at the Watershed Farm. For additional information, please contact Tara at (724) 238-7560, ext. 3# or tara@loyalwater.com.
