You can learn a lot in a classroom, but there is nothing quite like the experience of getting your hands dirty and really discovering something for yourself. That is why we offer tours and educational opportunities to all ages, abilities, and incomes — encouraging active, healthy lifestyles, while making meaningful connections with our public lands. Browse events and programming below. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, let us know.
While getting “out there” and getting your hands dirty, make sure to do your part to recreate responsibly. Take a minute to visit our FIND forest friends and learn how!
