2026 Nature & Outdoor Expo
The Nature & Outdoor Expo is a free, family-friendly community event designed to connect people of all ages with the natural world right here in our area. Featuring more than 75 activities and booths, the Expo highlights conservation, water resources, soil health, wildlife, and outdoor recreation. Attendees can explore interactive exhibits, meet local organizations, and enjoy hands-on learning experiences that inspire stewardship of our natural resources. With live animals, engaging children’s activities, and opportunities to discover local parks and outdoor adventures, the Expo offers something for everyone while promoting a deeper appreciation for the environment and the importance of protecting it.
We are also excited to welcome a select group of vendors offering nature-inspired, handmade, and artisan items. If you create or sell items inspired by nature and the outdoors—such as wildlife art, handcrafted woodwork, birdhouses, pottery, botanical products, handmade jewelry, candles, soaps, photography, garden décor, or other unique creations—we believe our attendees would love discovering your work.

A Deeper Connection to Nature
“There are two things that interest me: the relation of people to each other and the relation of people to the land [and water].” - Aldo Leopold
Spending time outdoors strengthens both our connection to nature and to each other. This greenway provides a place where communities can gather, explore, and experience the benefits of protected natural spaces.
Our mission is to promote an appreciation, understanding and respect for our natural world through education.
Discover Nature Close to Home
Why Green Spaces Matter
As development continues to grow, natural areas are becoming harder to find. Poor land use and pollution threaten waterways, wildlife, and community well-being.
This preserved watershed remains one of the few in the region that supports safe recreation and healthy aquatic life. Protecting these lands helps maintain clean water, improve air quality, and provide long-term environmental and economic benefits.
Health, Nature & Community
Spending time outdoors has proven benefits, from improved health and reduced stress to better learning and focus. Accessible nature trails make it easier for communities to enjoy these benefits every day.
Preserved forests and waterways also support local economies by encouraging tourism and outdoor recreation.
Working Together to Protect Nature
Through partnerships with landowners, local organizations, and the community, efforts focus on:
These efforts help ensure that natural spaces remain protected and accessible for future generations.
