Hours
Our walking trails are open.
The building may also be open on other days for special events and programs. For details on upcoming events please visit our Events page.
We welcome you to come and explore!
We will not be scheduling field trips until spring 2022.
Check out each of the links on the left to learn about our interactive exhibits focusing on wetlands and the trails we’ve created to introduce you to our sustainable building, storm water management practices, and our renewable energy systems. Come and explore our “green” and innovative features.
We also invite teachers to check out the Education link! There are many possibilities to enhance your curriculum with a field trip to our campus!
An engaging wetland trail system is open to the public, and we add to our exhibits periodically, so be sure to come back often!
Although we love our furry best friends, we must ask that you leave your dog at home. This will protect the waters of Cascade Creek, protect the growing wildlife population in our wetlands, and ensure that all visitors can have close encounters with beautiful and fascinating plants and wildlife. Thank you for your cooperation.
