Activities at the nature center include nature inspired public programs designed for families, children and senior adults. In addition, we conduct programming for school and community groups along with guided nature walks and targeted school outreach nature studies. The nature preserve is a valuable community asset offering a quiet retreat to solitary observers, couples, Scout groups, families, and school children who come to enjoy the natural beauty of the preserve. Some people come to sit on a bench, some to count bluebirds – others test water quality, monitor pond life, or tap the sugar maples. Many take the opportunity to capture photos of the wildlife for their own use and to enhance the society’s marketing initiatives.
