On Saturday thousands of visitors descended on the Lone Star College-Montgomery Campus in Conroe to learn about the forests of the region in which they live and how to best take care of it through hands on clinics, information booths, live demonstrations, and children's activities. Attendees ranged from urban homeowners to rural landowners, boy scouts, girl scouts, outdoor enthusiasts and everyone in between.
