Harbison State Forest is the largest urban green space in the Southeast. Friends of Harbison State Forest is a non-profit organization founded to preserve and promote the recreational and educational aspects of this urban forest resource. Our initial emphasis is planning, designing and building sustainable new trails while maintaining and upgrading the current trail system.
Friends of Harbison State Forest needs your support!

    Trails Maintenance*

Work days on the trails are normally scheduled for the first Saturday of each month. Check the Kiosk to see when it will be held this month and meet us in the Firebreak parking lot at 9 am. If you have a shovel or a heavy rake, please bring it with you. Also, you will want to bring gloves and water. We'll probably work for 3 or 4 hours depending on the size of the group. Even if you can only come for an hour or two, any amount of help will be appreciated.
If you can give some time during the week, go by the Environmental Education Center and check with the Forest Manager to find out what needs to be done.
Hope to see you at a work day!
    Friends Meeting
The Friends of Harbison Forest meet on the second Thursday of each month. The meetings are held at 6:30 pm at the Environmental Education Center. Come join us!
