Our stimulating and rewarding encounters with nature bring groups back again and again. Whether your stay with us lasts an hour, a day, a week or anything in between, the visit will be a memorable one for all. Each season provides unique educational opportunities at the Nature Center. Autumn's cool, crisp mornings and beautiful afternoons provide a natural classroom for exploring the changing leaves and trees, listening to bustling animal activity, watching insects scurrying to prepare for winter, and gathering a harvest of edible plants. Hay rides, bonfires, and eerie night hikes, filling evenings with voices of song and storytelling, can all be part of an autumn overnight trip to the Nature Center in this colorful season.
Winter is probably our most exciting season, bringing a whole new world of experiences and sights.
Spring , with its new life and freshness, is an excellent time for learning and discovery. Symphonies of spring peepers raise a song, and chorus of baby birds chirp and warble to celebrate the season. Lush wildflowers, soft sunlight, and newly green fields brush away gray days, bringing warm afternoons for roaming the outdoors. A special part of spring is welcoming baby animals of all kinds. Visiting the Howell Nature Center in spring can give everyone a new awareness of nature.
