Join the Dan River Basin Association (DRBA) and the US Army Corps of Engineers at Philpott Lake for an event that is sure to get the family excited about nature. September 23 is going to be an exciting day at Philpott Lake as we celebrate the US Army Corps of Engineers 70th anniversary at Philpott Lake, along with National Public Lands Day. To commemorate the day, DRBA has partnered with the rangers at Philpott to present a family-friendly event, Forest School. 

Forest School will be held on Saturday, September 23, from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Philpott Lake Visitor Center, 1058 Philpott Dam Road, Bassett.

“We are looking forward to Forest School, and we are excited that it coincides with National Public Lands Day. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate National Public Lands Day, than coming out and learning all about public lands. We are also excited about having the public here to help Philpott Lake celebrate its 70th anniversary,” said Dillon Brown, Interpretive Park Ranger, Philpott Lake.

This is a free family event which will provide learning opportunities about our natural resources. Educational exhibits and activities will be set up in the grassy area for youth to participate in, with giveaways. Free meals will be provided to the first 100 youth and their parents.

DRBA’s Education Outreach Manager, Krista Hodges, said, “This is going to be a family friendly event that will give children and parents a fun and safe opportunity to learn about nature while also spending time together.”

This event is proudly sponsored by the Eco Ambassador Council, local businesses who join together to protect and promote our local natural resources.

DRBA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and promoting the Dan River watershed through recreation, education and stewardship. To learn more about the Dan River Basin Association, visit www.danriver.org.
