The forest is managed by the Commonwealth Department of Conservation and Recreation; the supervisor is John Varkonda.

Walkers should meet by 1 p.m. at the main parking area at State Forest headquarters off Barnes Road, following VCS signs. The walk is free and will last approximately two hours. Cider and cookies will be served.
