No Ivy Day update: Due to predicted wind gusts above 20 mph tomorrow (and heavy wind and rain today), we are cancelling tomorrow's No Ivy Day for everyone's safety. High winds and rain in the forest can cause falling trees and branches, making conditions too hazardous to host a volunteer event.

It's not every day that you get to see elk in Forest Park, but they are always a welcome sight out in the forest! Bill, one of our independent volunteers, recorded this sighting in the park last week.
We hope you enjoy this reminder that Forest Park serves as an important wildlife habitat!
