Do you have Scouts or Girl Scouts that you’d love to send up into the trees? Encounter the giants of the forest and explore trees from a new perspective as you climb into the canopy under the guidance of trained facilitators. Ascend to the top, swing from a branch, or try a “bat hang” – Adventure awaits!
The Tree Climbing Festival Registration includes 20 minutes of climb time, a scavenger hunt along the trails, a naturalist-led hands-on nature investigation, and access to picnic areas for lunch (please pack a bagged lunch and be mindful of single use plastic waste).
