Woods of the Parkway & Their Uses: Ranger-Led Talks and Activities (Craggy Gardens Visitor Center - Milepost 364)

Join a ranger for a material exploration of our native forests along the Parkway, from root and leaf to woven chair and shingled roof. Try your hand at our wood identification game, walk the circumference of a redwood tree, and learn the secret to carving the perfect spoon!

Fees

The program is free with no tickets or reservations required.

This talk will be outside the visitor center. In high winds or inclement weather, the talk will be canceled and we will set up an informal educational table indoors. The Craggy Gardens Visitor Center is at Milepost 364.5 on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
