The Blissfest Future Forest (BFF) is a forest remnant of 40 acres with a small grove of Red/White pines, planted plantation style in the center.
The forest is in process of renewing itself after the most recent tree harvest. Blissfest Music Organization, as steward of this special place, is comitted to providing a visitor- friendly way to experience the BFF and its permanent residents- the birds, mammals and trees that call the BFF home.
Our thanks to Forests for the Future for entrusting Blissfest Music Organization with this wonderful gift of northern Michigan’s legacy.

The BFF currently has three invasive species within the forest we are attempting to eradicate. We ask that you carefully use the boot brush while entering and exiting this forest to minimize further damage by expanding these species or introducing new invasives.
