We believe that experiencing nature is an essential part of life,
and research has found that connecting with nature
makes all people happier, healthier, and smarter.
The Nature Discovery Center is dedicated to preserving our
4-acre nature park and leading programs that ignite appreciation
for nature among all ages.
