Welcome to the Augusta Springs Website
Welcome to Augusta Springs! We are an electronic commons created for volunteers and visitors to Augusta Springs, a popular U.S. Forest Service wetlands and conservation education center on the North River Ranger District, George Washington/Jefferson National Forest. The purpose of this site is to help students of all ages learn about the role that forests, particularly the National Forests, play in protecting and enhancing our most precious resource- clean water.
Volunteers hosting learning stations for elementary students during the fall and spring may visit our learning stations to view the assignments and resources we have ready for you when you volunteer at the site. For more information on these programs, contact sandy.greene@va.nacdnet.net.
Directions:
Augusta Springs is 8 miles south of Buffalo Gap on Rt. 42. On your right, look for a US Forest Service sign with binoculars, which says "Watchable Wildlife". The parking lot pull off is 1/4 mile beyond that on the right.
