Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center
POWDER VALLEY CONSERVATION NATURE CENTER is nestled in 112 acres
of oak-hickory forest--a quiet corner in a busy urban world. Leave that
chaotic lifestyle behind and escape to the nature center's trails and exhibits.
Learn about nature...

the many benefits of conservation. For books and other learning tools,
there's a resource library and gift shop.

scouts, public programs, films and guest speakers.

Escape a busy schedule...

bird feeders and a marsh -- see the woodpeckers, squirrels, wild turkeys
and other wildlife which come to feed.
- Two levels of state-of-the-art exhibits, geared to all ages, draw you
into the intricate world of nature so you can see and understand the pieces
and the whole.
