Family Free Days

  • Wesselman Woods 551 North Boeke Road Evansville, IN, 47711 United States (map)

Enjoy the trails for free TODAY!

Wesselman Woods will be open for free the last Saturday of each month in 2023.

Come out and enjoy over 4 miles of trails and the 5-acre Welborn Baptist Foundation Nature Playscape and Bernhardt Family Bird Sanctuary without having to worry about admission.


This offering is available thanks to the Eco-Access Initiative, which aims to harness the power of our local communities to further establish and assure equal access to the largest urban old-growth forest in the United States: Wesselman Woods.

People need nature.

Donors can contribute in various ways to provide equal access to Wesselman Woods, ever-bearing in mind that we all can experience less advantageous realities and economic ebbs and flows from time to time. These sponsorships are used to assist in covering the costs incurred in the pursuit of environmental education and connecting people and nature.

Our donors make a real difference by sponsoring a child or family to create lasting memories and inspire greater environmental stewardship. Find out how you can make a direct difference in someone’s life.
