If you’ve never visited, now might be the best time, as they are set to celebrate the milestone; they have a number of events that will take place.
One is happening this Saturday, October 18, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will feature family-friendly activities, treats, and hands-on experiences. Saturday will also feature a guided hike and a live bald eagle instructional program.
The educational leader has been with the center since almost the beginning.
“Well, I’ve been here for most of it, which is crazy,” said Educational Leader Theresa Kruid. “It’s been, you know, it’s been a great ride to be here at the Nature Center for so many years and to meet so many people through our educational programming and to be able to offer a family-friendly space for people to enjoy the outdoors.”
Throughout October, the Nature Center has been holding a Hike-A-Thon and has close to 100 participants signed up. They’re set to meet on November 1 at the finish line event to celebrate their achievements.
