We will open on 10/12, and resume limited operations. Both buildings are undamaged and open. However, several trails are inaccessible due to downed trees and flooding. This includes the boardwalk to the lake. Other trails are passable, but are covered in leaf debris, small limbs, and muddy in spots. If you decide to visit, please keep this in mind. We will announce when all trails are accessible again.

Capital Building Campaign

Our Education Complex Expansion

$0.00
$3,600,000.00
45%
We have raised $1,605,625.00 of our $3,600,000.00  goal.

Our Education Complex Expansion project will allow for the new construction of classrooms, offices, meeting spaces and the expansion of our current infrastructure to meet increasing demands. Phase One was completed with the extension of our water lines, connection to city sewers and building of a portion of the parking area entrance.

Phase Two is currently in progress. Phase Two includes the construction of two stormwater ponds, a new and improved safer parking area, moving and improving the maintenance work area and building a temporary new entrance through the current Natural History Museum. 

Phase Three will see the construction of our new buildings designed by architect Scott Krehl. These buildings will add 4,900 square feet of space for use as additional classrooms and offices, a new lobby/greeting area, an outdoor teaching area, outdoor accessible bathrooms and a multipurpose room that can be used for large events. The current Education Building will be refurbished and become the Exhibit Building.

We have made progress toward our fundraising goals, but we need your help to accomplish Phase Three. Sponsorships and naming rights opportunities at all levels are available. Donations both large and small are needed to complete our expansion. Donate to leave a legacy for future generations.
