The Friends of Black Hill Nature Programs was formed to support, promote, and sustain the nature programs and special events conducted by the interpretive naturalist staff at Black Hill Visitor Center.  The friends group supports many types of family, adult and children’s programs. Family events include Firefly Fun, Star Search, Rainforest Day and Bluebird Day.  Children’s programs include Bug Day, fishing, lake exploration, and night hikes. Adult programs include special hikes, van and bike tours, camps and workshops for teachers.

Programs are based at the Black Hill Visitor Center at Black Hill Regional Park. The naturalist-led programs, which take place within the park and around Montgomery County, are fun, educational, and affordable.

Annual membership entitles individuals and families to attend events just for the friends group, such as pontoon boat tours, kayak trips, hikes, and staff natural history training.
