Activities

The James B Harrison Foundation offers its Harrison-Long Point and Harrison-Burr properties as a primitive site for organizations involved in nature-based and outdoor education, wildlife research, conservation, and general appreciation of nature activities. We welcome non-profit, school, conservation, and youth organizations pursuing stewardship, conservation, and nature-based workshops, field days, projects or research.

Access to these properties is by group reservation only.

We do not serve individual users; however, we do offer periodic opportunities for individuals to visit which can be found on our online calendar. Please contact us if your organization has a proposal that complements our mission.

The following are examples of activities that we have hosted.

Nature hikes and bird watching

With a variety of wildlife habitats on our properties, including wetlands, flooded timber, ponds, woodlands and a rookery, nature hikes and bird watching are our frequently requested activities.

wildlife projects, Workshops, and field days

Wildlife and fisheries projects are popular within the 4-H and FFA Programs and our properties are perfect for hosting field days, workshops, contests, projects and research. We invite educators to take your classroom outdoors, bringing your curriculum alive among our many diverse habitats.

Boy scout and Girl Scout Activities

Our properties are ideal for youth primitive camping trips. Hike, explore and earn badges by day and build a camp fire, share stories, and gaze upon the stars at night. The Foundation also sponsors seasonal Merit Badge Workshops.
