Mountain Island Educational State Forest is closed to the public at this time. In the future, the forest will offer recreational opportunities similar to the other ESF's. At present, Ranger conducted classes are available to come to your school or special event. You can find a listing of the classes offered in our Teacher's Guide section of this page. All of our services are free. If you are interested in a class, a Project Learning Tree workshop, or you are just curious, send Forest Supervisor Laura Shidal a message at mountainislandESF.DFR@ncmail.net.
