Update to Fall Follow-up Trip Plans

Plans are continuing for the fall follow-up to the Forestry and Rail Transport project.  On Wednesday, September 5, we will leave the Cabell County Board of Education Central Office at 4:30pm.  We will be taking two vans to the Days Inn at Flatwoods, WV.  We will have a very special dinner at Café Cimino taking time to reflect on the summer trip and how we can implement the lesson plans in Cabell County classrooms.

On September 6, we will tour the Weyerhaeuser-Sutton OSB plant where oriented strand board is manufactured and Appalachian Timber Services to observe the manufacture of railroad ties and mine timbers.

For these tours, you will need long pants, closed toe shoes, safety glasses, hard hat and ear protection.

We will return to Huntington on the evening of September 6.
