We recommend bringing comfortable shoes, a water bottle, a camera, and a wildflower field guide if you have one.

These programs are free, but you MUST SIGN UP to participate. Call now (828-692-0100) or email (holmesesf.ncfs@ncagr.gov) to reserve your spot!

We offer hiking trails, picnic areas and a variety of educational exhibits. Category II, III NC EE certification and CEU credit are available upon request.
