County announces September forestry workshop and free parenting class funded by $15,000 grant
Summary
Officials announced a Fayette/Lamar County forestry workshop on Sept. 10 (8 a.m.–4 p.m., $10 fee) offering six professional credits, and a Ready, Set, Grow parenting class hosted at Grace United Methodist Church funded by a $15,000 grant targeting expectant parents and caregivers up to age 5.
At the start of the meeting, a county official announced two community programs scheduled for September.
The Fayette/Lamar County forestry workshop will be held Sept. 10 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., offers six professional logging/CFD credits, and currently carries a $10 registration fee that may change if more participants register. Separately, Lamar County was selected as a host for a Ready, Set, Grow parenting class, funded by a $15,000 grant to promote early childhood development; the class will be held at Grace United Methodist Church and organizers said they hoped to enroll at least 30 participants and encourage fathers to attend.
Why it matters: The programs provide continuing education for forestry professionals and free early-childhood resources for families with young children in Lamar County.
Next steps: Organizers will continue outreach and signups for both events.
