Reflecting our desire to expand the regional festival while continuing past traditions, the Festival Foundation has announced that it will again offer the  “Forestry Field Day” to this year’s events.

The State of Georgia has over 24 million acres in forest land.  Swainsboro and Emanuel County is centered in the heart of this “the timber belt”.  Many citizens in this region either work in timber, own land, or are affected indirectly by the industry. According to Bill Rogers, Chairman of the Festival Foundation, “It’s only fitting that the Pine Tree Festival and Southeast Timber Expo grow to include a forest and wildlife field day to spotlight this important renewable resource.”
