Discover NatureWatch

NatureWatching can include gazing at animals from a viewing site, searching for spring wildflowers, observing the changing seasons, or immersing oneself in the clear waters of a national forest stream, among other activities. Engaging in NatureWatching activities leads to greater personal connection to the environment and the natural resources we all share.

Participating in NatureWatch events across U.S. Forest Service National Forests and Grasslands is a good way to get started, and include celebrating special days such as: Earth Day, National Pollinator Week, National Fishing & Boating Week, International Migratory Bird Day, Endangered Species Day, National Get Outdoors Day, Water Awareness Day, and the many festivals, camps, bioblitzes and events hosted by the U.S. Forest Service on public lands.
