Your support will be used for improving our outdoor visitor experience, wildflower garden care, and seed dispersal in our Founders Grove and Bird Habitat area. With your help we are hoping to plant 50,000 seeds by the end of this spring to celebrate our 50th Anniversary!

Every $5.00 donated allows us to plant 100 native wildflower seeds and gets us closer to adding a new, interactive feature for visitors in our outdoor space. ​

All supporters will have their name placed on a recycled paper flower displayed in our center for 6 months!
