Foggy Morning
OSPR is happy to offer a full line up of outdoor family fun this year.  The Natural Side!  From nature walks to hikes to water fun, OSPR has you covered.  Each of these events are designed to get the family outdoors, active and learning.

Winter Solstice "Silent" Walk
  • Winter Solstice Walk, Thursday, December 21, 2:30 – 4:30 p.m. Celebrate the shortest daytime of the year by walking at The Preserve State Forest.
