Mission Statement
Our Mission: To inspire and nurture appreciation of the natural world and foster a personal environmental ethic.
Description
We have a 300-acre nature preserve, with several miles of trails for hiking, biking and even cross country skiing. A combination of interactive displays illustrate the woodland, wetland and meadow habitats on the land surrounding our main campus, offering an ideal learning experience for children and adults visiting either of our locations, participating in our programs or attending our nature preschool. We offer outreach programs for school and scouting groups. We also have an Animal Care department for rehabilitation of limited species and continued care of non-releasable birds of prey. Membership support and volunteer engagement are absolutely essential to our success.
