Hiking CASEE Forest and Nature Trails

The CASEE trail system consists of two looped paths beginning at the Center for Agriculture, Science and Environmental Education (CASEE) parking lot in Brush Prairie.

The East Forest loop is 0.5 mile long and passes through an old-growth grove within a ravine. The Arboretum is the middle and the West Forest loop (1 mi long) is in a 75-year-old forest. The central trail has short interconnecting paths, making a lattice arrangement (see campus trail map).

The trails are open to the public and maintained by the center's students; they're open for public hiking, walking dogs, running or visiting the botanical gardens adjacent to the trailhead all year round. The grounds are extensive (20 acres), forested and offer interpretative signage. Paths are gravel, dirt or wood chips.
