Enjoy learning about the many animals that go bump in the night as you hit the trail to see if you can spot the hidden critters!

Program Details

Did you know that nocturnal animals are awake at night but spend most of the day sleeping! Come join us and see if you can spot all the nocturnal animals.

Throughout the month of July join us at these campground recreation areas to learn more about the animals that go bump in the night.  Be on the lookout for spiders, bats, raccoons and a host of other animals that you will most likely encounter after dark.

FIND Outdoors Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, our people and places are facing significant challenges. Your support is crucial in helping us restore and reopen these vital spaces.

Your contribution will directly fund the rebuilding of bridges and boardwalks damaged by flooding, rerouting heavily eroded trails, and clearing debris from our beautiful outdoor areas. These spaces are not just paths and parks; they are the backdrop for family memories, adventures, and connections to nature.

  • Education on Emergency Preparedness

We’re committed to empowering our communities with the knowledge and resources to prepare for future emergencies, ensuring everyone can enjoy the great outdoors safely.

  • Support for Displaced Employees

Many people who care for public lands have been affected by the storm. Your generosity will help provide them with vital support during this challenging time.
