The core mission of Center is to educate students and visitors on the importance of biodiversity, to promote sustainability, and to encourage conservation, preservation, and restoration of ecosystems.
Students who visit learn about the natural environment through interpretive exhibits as well as an extensive trail system through natural areas on Nokuse Plantation.. While promoting Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects, students are provided opportunities for inquiry, investigation and innovation by gaining a better understanding and knowledge of their natural surroundings.
This summer the Center is excited to offer public hours, summer Wednesday day camps, and 2 sessions of a collaborative week-long camp with the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation.
