Description

This nature center offers great educational programs, exhibits, and workshops for those interested in learning about natural history and the world around them. There are also nice interpretive nature trails surrounding the center and great gardens to check out during your visit. Inside the building, you'll get to see the rotating exhibits on display (usually art exhibits), as well as learn about Thornton Burgess, a naturalist author who wrote over 170 books, many of which were set in the wetland habitat of the area surrounding the Green Briar Nature Center. Some of the programs offered here include great family/child activities such as moonlight nature walks, storytime, and expeditions to explore local ponds. Adult programs are also offered and include lighthouse tours, canoe trips, and slide shows.
