Trout Lake Nature Center Board of Directors
As with most non-profits, Trout Lake Nature Center’s Board of Directors consists of volunteers. These volunteers serve in many capacities working to improve the facilities, programming, fundraising, and financial health of Trout Lake Nature Center.
The Board usually meets on the fourth Monday of each month at 5.30 PM and its meetings are open to the public.
