| Description | Visit the nature center to walk the trails, attend a program or event, volunteer, and in the winter, you can rent snowshoes.
View the interpretive exhibits (fun for kids and interesting for adults) inside the visitor center and outdoors as well. Children can play on bridges, boulders, stepping stones, and logs in the outdoor natural play area. Indoors they can find live animals, a touch and see room, puppets, and ride and energy bike and more.
Adults and families can participate in naturalist led programs on a variety of nature related themes including gardening, birding, sustainability programs, puppet shows, animal programs...etc.
Demonstration Gardens include rainwater gardens, butterfly gardens and a small section of no-mow grass adjacent to the parking lot.
Trees are an important part of our mission and have great value! Enjoy a picnic under large old oak at the nature center, take a self-guided tour of the trees on the trail, or learn more about the city's tree rebate program, planting trees, and more.
The Nature Center is a resource, too! The Nature Center administers the city's costshare program to help Maplewood residents obtain rainbarrels, and also offers composting workshops with a costshare on composting bins.
At the visitor center, use our nature library to identify a bird, or browse through the informational handouts to learn more about buckthorn removal and native landscaping.
