Parking & Drop-Off

Fern Forest Nature Center allows only limited vehicle access at the back entrance. Our U-Haul and Rebecca’s car are the only vehicles permitted to remain there during the event.

All other cars must park in the designated parking lots at the front. Drop-offs at the back entrance are allowed but must be very brief — just long enough to unload equipment. After unloading, vehicles must immediately leave the area and park in the front lot.

We will arrive at 1:00 PM with the goal of starting our first look at 1:30 PM on site. Please plan to arrive and set up accordingly.
