Come Experience the Beauty of the Forest With Guided Hikes

Ever wondered what hiking is all about?  I mean after all you can go for a walk through your neighborhood.

Fontenelle Forest hosts guided hikes every month.  These hikes offer you the experience of hiking wrapped with education and passion for the forest.  You can experience the beauty of summer through the wildflowers, listen to the quiet as the sun sets, experience night life in the forest, or even view stars. 

Fontenelle's guided hikes are all led by volunteers and experts in their fields.  To see the full list of events and guided hikes, subscribe to the calendar here - Events for August 2022 : Fontenelle (fontenelleforest.org).
