LSNC Programs

As environmental educators, LSNC staff provide hands-on experiences that enable youth to develop an understanding of important ecological and scientific principles, encourage a sensitivity and appreciation for nature's beauty, and promote responsible stewardship of the natural world. The Center's 50 acres of beautiful fields, prairie, ponds, and woods are located within the northeast part of Ann Arbor and provide maximum opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors.
