Forest Discovery Center
Officially Opening June 13, 2025!
Our small nature center serves as a place where community members, young and old, can explore, learn about, and become better stewards of the ACFL. We invite you to join us on June 13th at noon for our ribbon cutting! Following this event we will be open Fridays & Saturdays 12pm-4pm.
We look forward to seeing you soon at the Forest Discovery Center at 404 Commercial Avenue, Anacortes.
At the Forest Discovery Center you will find:
A classroom to host existing programs such as our Naturalist Club and Trail Ambassadors, as well as become a home for future community workshops, lectures, and additional youth art and science programs
Exhibits on the history of the ACFL, forest ecology, and rotating interactive youth and community partnership displays
A “home base” for forest users to find maps, hike recommendations, and other guided activities in the ACFL
Updates on Friends’ upcoming community & youth events and programming in the forest
