Blue Ridge Local Events

Spring is in full effect!

Our Spring season here at Blue Ridge is going strong, and we're having an amazing time sharing the awakening nature around us with young awakening minds! To our delight, we have two new members of our community to share with our program participants. We're not talking about new staff, but two beavers that have moved into our wetland. Check out the latest issue of the Blue Ridge Blaze online to read more about our new rodent friends. Those who are coming to visit this Spring are in for a treat! We can't wait to see you.

New High Ropes Course!

We are planning to build a new high ropes challenge course because we know that our old, beloved high ropes course won't last forever. First, though, we need to raise more money so that we can ensure that our new course is even more enthralling than the old one. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation towards the construction of our new course, please email us or call Josh Rood at (706) 886-7621. Thank you!

Extended Seasons

For those of you who are interested in coming to Blue Ridge in early or late Winter, we are interested in extending our Fall and Spring seasons in order to close the Winter gap.

Hands on Georgia

We participated in this year's Hands on Georgia week (the first week of October) during which organizations all over the state participate in self-designed public sevice projects. Blue Ridge decided to build bird-feeders for members of the Stephens County community and distribute them through our local nursing home and senior center.

Creatures of the Night

Blue Ridge, in partnership with Keep Toccoa-Stephens County Beautiful, presented the first annual Creatures of the Night event on October 19th at Henderson Falls Park. Blue Ridge director Josh Rood mixed science with humor as he educated Stephens County families on the features and habits of local nocturnal wildlife.

Rivers Alive

Once again, we participated in Rivers Alive, an annual public service event dedicated to keeping our rivers clean. Mmbers of the Blue Ridge staff took to the Tugaloo River in boats, collecting over half a ton of trash!
