Wild Montgomery
Enjoy and explore Montgomery County's beautiful wild places!
Despite urbanization, Montgomery County has a wealth of "Green Getaways" and “Best Natural Areas ” that provide refuge for wild species and respite for residents and visitors. There are hundreds of miles of natural trails that wind through forests and fields, peaceful stream valleys, protected conservation parks, award-winning public gardens, and nature centers that offer people of all ages hands-on experiences.
Your parks offer a wide variety of outdoor and nature programs for all ages throughout the year. From hikes, rockclimbing and kayaking to stream exploration, star gazing, and maple-sugaring, you can always find a fun, educational activity that celebrates our natural environment. Check our main Parks Calendar and www.ParkPass.org for upcoming events, programs and volunteer opportunities.
You can also check out our list of "Green Getaways" to learn about some of the best natural sites in the county, or take a look at our "Resources" section for a list of various organizations and links you can visit for more information. We hope you will use this website as your resource to learn more about the beautiful, natural areas the county has to offer.
You don’t need to travel far to immerse yourself in the natural world!
