Situated on 50 acres of fields, prairie, woods, and pond, the Leslie Science and Nature Center provides natural science and environmental education programs for youth and their families. Stroll along the trails, meander past the outdoor enclosure of our new Resident Raptors, or join us for an education program. The Center is an amazing place where children and families revel in the exploration of the natural world. The Science Center is pleased to have formal partnerships with NWF (National Wildlife Federation) and the River Raisin Raptor Center.
