Discover the Forest

The U.S. Forest Service has created this helpful tool for locating state and national forests, parks, and wildlife refuges across the country. On the homepage, visitors simply enter ZIP codes to find local sites of interest. Users can filter results by Activity (e.g. Hiking, Camping, Winter Sports, Fishing) or by Type of Site (e.g. National Forest, State Forest or Park, Park or Playground, Museum or Educational). Visitors can then explore nearby sites of interest on a Google Map. Discover the Forest also features advice for planning a trip to a forest or park and information about forests in the United States. Users are encouraged to share their own photographs or explore those snapped by other forest lovers via the Share the Forest Feature. This allows users to share images via Instagram, Twitter, or Tumblr using the hashtags #DiscovertheForest and #ForestFriday.
