About the event

Join us for this free, family event as we honor all things Longleaf Pine! Educational booths from our organizational partners will introduce you to this unique ecosystem and its critters and explain the importance of prescribed fire. Visit with live animals, enjoy Longleaf-themed games and crafts, and take a guided wagon tour to our 60-acre Longleaf Pine Restoration Area. Pre-registration is required for the wagon tours due to limited seating (register separately via this online system). Purchase a cool treat from Kona Ice of Western Wake and take home your very own Longleaf Pine seedling! Extend your fun by bringing a picnic lunch and spending your day at the park. It's free for all ages! This event will take place at the Loblolly Shelter and on the open playfield.
