Pack Forest 80th Anniversary

The dawn of spring is well under way, and that signals the College of Forest Resources annual Garb Day event. This is a time for the CFR community to gather together at the exceptional facilities of Pack forest for a full day of entertainment. It's meant for students, faculty, staff, alumni, family and friends. The activities that take place throughout the day are for spectators and participants alike; this year's event will include a plethora of fun-filled activities, inluding a geo-caching hunt, croquet, ultimate frisbee, log burling, live music, and more! After a full day of fun outdoor activities, nothing is better then the salmon barbeque feast. We hope you can join in the fun this year.
