Jack Elrod, who has worked on the Mark Trail comic since 1950, will be honored with the Outstanding Forestry Journalism Award from the Society of American Foresters during that organizations national convention in Oregon this week. The award is given for journalist coverage of topics that increase American’s understanding of forestry and natural resources. Jack has worked with various natural resources communities to create educational coloring and activity books for elementary age children on environmental and safety issues. Earlier this year, Jack, who is a Gainsville GA native, was honored by the Northeast Georgia History Center.
