Adventure, fun, exploration - it's all waiting for you. Get outdoors and discover all the cool things to do and see in your local environment. From your own backyard to our towering national forests, you can find plants and animals at every turn. Develop a connection with these wild neighbors! Learn their names. Find out where they live.

Enter the Get to Know Contest by submitting art, writing, or photography of your wild neighbors. The goal is to be as creative as possible - so let the natural world inspire you! Go wild with your creation and you could win amazing prizes, like a thrilling week of outdoor fun at Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.
