The U.S. Forest Service will host a public workshop to discuss the proposed 100,000 acre Lower Cowpasture Restoration Project on Monday, September 16, from6 to 8 p.m. at the Millboro Elementary School.  This will be the fourth in a series of public workshops scheduled for 2013. The Lower Cowpasture RestorationProject Area is located in eastern Alleghany and Bath counties.
