Since 2010, the Natural Areas Action Team has organized an annual Natural Areas Celebration Week during the first week of May. Designed to foster an awareness and appreciation of diverse natural areas in Benton County, Natural Areas Celebration Week includes a series of events – hikes, walks, workshops, lectures, and more -sponsored by various local organizations. There’s always something for everyone!
In 2020 and 2021, Natural Areas Celebration Week was reimagined, due to the pandemic. Community members were invited to participate in virtual tours and to attend online presentations.
In-person events have returned in 2022! This year’s Natural Areas Celebration Week May 1 – 8 offers a variety of events. Check them out HERE.
