Our goal is to raise awareness about the vital role wetlands play in providing clean water, supporting habitats, and offering recreational opportunities, while highlighting the importance of human connection with nature. Explore your local wetland and experience the beauty of diverse ecosystems! Visit our nature center located in the park office, offering a range of free activities, including interactive exhibits, explorer backpacks, scavenger hunts, and hands-on experiences with live animals. Equipment such as binoculars, boots, and field guides are available for free use, helping you explore the wetlands and trails. Every month, a new theme brings educational resources, games, and crafts for visitors to enjoy. The center is fully accessible, and rocking chairs are available for a relaxing view of the wetland. Public restrooms and pet watering stations are located on the center's outdoor deck.
