Tomorrow morning (6/28) we will open the Dunn Forest. 

The McDonald Forest will open on Saturday, June 29th. We will start removing closure signs at Oak Creek at 7:30am on Saturday and will work our way east, finishing at Peavy Arboretum and the 540/Adair Gate. All of the McDonald Forest should be fully open for your enjoyment by 1pm on Saturday.

Thank you for your patience, and thank you to Research Forest student workers for all their help with signage posting and removal!

Please see bright stickers posted on signs at trailheads for specific information about the herbicide application. These stickers will remain in place for one week.

*Please note that harvest closures remain in effect. Visit our Interactive Web Map to see updates of current harvest operations.
