Nature programs in state parks
Nature programs in state parks
Many of our state parks, recreation areas, hatcheries and visitor centers offer seasonal outdoor education programs. From mammals, birds and insects to dunes, wetlands and more, learn about the resources in and around the parks you visit. During the summer months, schedules will also be posted in the park, or you can ask the campground host or other park staff.
These programs are offered free of charge; however, a Recreation Passport is required for park entry.
