Embrace nature and create lasting memories with us at the Campus Parking Plaza.

Engage in hands-on activities and chat with local nature experts and community partners, including NWA Master Naturalists, Arkansas 4-H, the Ozark Chinquapin Foundation, George Imrie – Ozark Chinquapin Wood Carving Artist, Hobbs State Park, and the Amazeum.
While you’re here, be sure to participate in a drop-in tree care workshop led by the Arkansas Department of Agriculture, Forestry! Plus, don’t forget to take home a tree sapling from our giveaway between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. (while supplies last).
