Join Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and our partners for a free event all about nature, prescribed fire and how it benefits humans and wildlife alike!

This is the first annual East Texas Fire and Nature Festival!

Join us for a day of nature-based hands-on activities aimed at families, as well as short, guided walks and special speaker presentations. There will be a variety of fire engines and equipment on-site and a live demonstration of prescribed fire. The fire demonstration is weather-dependent.

More information will be added as we get closer to the event.

Guided walks will take place on a variety of surface types and will last 20-30 minutes, starting every half hour from 11:30 until end of event.

Our special speaker presentations will start on the hour and will last 15-20 minutes inside the Nature Center building.
