It began with a gift and is sustained through your giving

This wonderful place for learning and exploration began with the marvelous gift of the Leslies', but their gift was founded on the hope that the community would continue to find it of value, and would join in sustaining it — and it has! More than 55,000 individuals, annually, visit the Center to connect with nature and strengthen their appreciation and understanding of the complex beauty and magnificence of our natural world. The Center can only continue to operate and educate with generosity of supporters like you. The children in our region need the magic, joy, and confidence produced by programs such as ours. There are many ways to give!
