Reach For The Sky

Plans for the Reach For The Sky Canopy Walk project are moving forward for construction and installation with an anticipated opening to the public in Fall of 2022!  We are continuing to fundraise in order to establish an endowment for long-term maintenance of the 700-foot long tree Canopy Walk and its adjacent hiking trails. You can support the project by clicking on the donate tab below.  For more information visit the Reach For The Sky link.  Below is an animated video illustrating the experience of traversing over the Canopy Walk.
