Spring has sprung! Celebrate the season by getting back to nature at Bass River State Forest, which just announced a host of free family events in May and June ($10 entrance fee to the park may apply). All ages are welcome to attend guided hikes, which are about 2/3 miles long and easy to navigate.

The Pine Barrens are not barren! May 19, 20 and 21, join Bass River seasonal naturalist Lisa Reilly for an educational journey through the native flora and fauna of the Pine Barrens.
