Camp Gifford Road Gate - In partnership with Gifford Farm Education Center, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, Sarpy County Public Works Department, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, Fontenelle Forest would like to announce the installation of an electronic gate across Camp Gifford Road near Camp Logan Fontenelle. It is being installed to provide better security of the properties at night.  It will be open each day from 5am until 10pm. Members of Fontenelle Forest can still hike the trails from dawn to dusk. Non-members must pay admission at Fontenelle Forest Nature Center prior to using any trails on the property.

Our Mission

To provide a place where people
can experience and enjoy the quiet wild of nature.
We want to inspire current and future generations
to care for the natural world.
