With 46% of the fort covered by woodlands, and approximately 13,000 acres of grassland, Fort Campbell is home to a mixture of native species and offers many outdoor recreation opportunities. In the beginning of February, Fort Campbell sets resources aside to provide local youths, veterans, and active-duty military service members with the opportunity to embark on a waterfowl hunting venture.
