EARTH DAY
Mid-to-Late April
We are so fortunate to have the largest tract of urban old-growth forest right here in Evansville. You can share the good news about this ecological and cultural treasure by joining us at Wesselman Woods to celebrate all things EARTH! Each year on Earth Day, we have a full day of events lined up to celebrate nature and all of its beauty. You can join us for guided hikes, animal encounters, community partners, educational programs and guided activities.
WOodland Wonders
Mid-September
An autumnal escape into a world of fantasy and fun! All ages are invited to celebrate the gifts of the forest and the wonder it offers through folklore, magic, adventure, and discovery.

Calling all artists!

This contest provides an opportunity for members of the community to showcase what they love or what they are concerned about within our bioregion through a visual medium.
