Picnic facilities are available for a snack or lunch before or after on-site programs. No time is available during field trip programs for snacks or lunch so please plan accordingly. There is no garbage service which requires all trash to be packed out. We ask that you supply your own trash bags.

Students must be kept under adult supervision at all times. Failure to adequately supervise individuals within your group may result in the group being asked to leave the Nature Center. Please understand that large groups of 15 or more may be divided into smaller groups.
