Beidler Forest Renovations

Check out the before & after!

Over the past year, Beidler Forest has undergone some incredible transformations, and we’re excited to share the results with you!

Both inside and out, our space has been refreshed and is ready to welcome visitors. The visitor center now shines with a beautiful sage green exterior and brand-new laminate wood flooring, replacing the old carpet. We’ve brightened the interior with updated lighting and fresh paint, and we’ve removed the infamous spiral staircase in the center of the building—no more awkward encounters or near misses with those tricky steps!

Outside, we’ve made enhancements to improve your visit. New directional signs now make navigating our long driveway and parking area effortless—no more second-guessing if you’re in the right place! Our screened-in outdoor classroom, where we host workshops and groups, features a fresh coat of paint, upgraded lighting, and brand-new doors. And here’s a big change we’re especially excited about: fiber optic internet is now available for both staff and visitors, bringing better connectivity for all.

These updates were completed during the 50th anniversary year of Beidler Forest, making this milestone even more meaningful. We can’t wait for you to see the difference! Plan your visit soon to experience the new and improved Beidler Forest.
