Environmental Education
Program
|
|
Environmental
education for all ages has been one of the Huron County Nature
Center's foremost objectives since its beginning as a
Wilderness Arboretum in 1941. Each year, the Nature Center
continues to strive for educational
excellence.
Ties are developed
with local schools, school children are given tours of the
park and high school students conduct original
research.
Nature walks are given,
providing people with knowledge and interesting information
about the flora, fauna and geography of the Nature
Center.
Special programs ranging
from bird identification to edible plants are held. New
signage is developed, providing information for the casual
visitor.
With limited funding, our
educational goals are being met slowly but surely. We
encourage you to participate in self-education. You will find
it extremely rewarding to bring along a field guide and make
your own
discoveries.

 Accessible
To All Of Our Citizens
Because we want The Huron County Nature Center
to be available to ALL of the Citizens
of Huron County and Michigan we have established a handicapped
accessible trail. This paved trail through the beautiful
wooded acres is dotted by bridges and observation decks. No
matter what your physical condition, this trail is an
enjoyable adventure in nature.

New
Building!
 After years of planning the board
of directors have announced that a new educational building is
coming to the Huron County Nature Center.
The building is a
2500 square foot modular classroom donated by the Huron County
Intermediate School District. The HISD has made this building
available for us if we pay for moving it to the Center and
have a foundation put up. The Building, as shown below, has a
24'x36' classroom, a beautiful reception area, offices and
several smaller classrooms. With the foundation complete,
the building was placed at the nature center and we will
be installing solar security and plans are underway to make
our new building totally solar. If you would like to
contribute to our "Earth Friendly" bulding, please do so.
We can use all the help you are able to
provide.
