The stewardship of nearly 400 wooded acres for the purposes of conservation, education, recreation, and community engagement.
A community that feels a strong connection to the natural world and actively partners with us to promote the highest level of biodiversity possible for our natural areas.
We steward ~400 acres of hardwood deciduous forest and wetland habitat in order to protect, improve, restore, and sustain it for native wildlife. We work to improve the quality of freshwater water resources and strive to maintain high biodiversity on our land.
We teach over 30,000 people annually to enjoy, understand and gain an appreciation and respect for the natural world. Our staff offer significant opportunities for students to engage with real-world challenges that extend beyond the confines of the classroom.
We maintain over seven miles of hiking trails for pleasure and exercise. We encourage visitors to spend time outside so they may maintain a healthy mental well-being. We have many natural areas for birding and wildlife watching, like Pfister’s pond.
For over 60 years we've supported our local community and provided opportunities to build a strong connection to the natural world. We partner with businesses and government officials to guarantee that nature is accessible to all.
Our Seasonal Programs are the perfect way for individual families and adults to enjoy the seasons with TNC!
