Hiking the rugged terrain and camping, is another aspect about the nature center that Hoffman likes to share with children. Through the program, inner-city youth have the opportunity to feel and see what a woodland really looks like. The program is made possible through the donations of a generous private donor. The program evolved out of Hoffman's prior experience at Catalina Island, Vasquez Rocks and Devils Punch Bowl. Arrangements can be made ahead of time, by calling the nature center.
Visitors can get a glimpse at the nocturnal life that abounds on the grounds.
A variety of owls and opossums can be viewed in their natural habitats. The next regularly scheduled evening hike, will be held on 8 p.m., Monday, Sept. 11. Everyone is welcome. With as much time as Hoffman spends at the nature center, a person might wonder how he balances his work and family life. For Hoffman, the answer is easy.
