VISITOR CENTER UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Your 2010 Annual Fund Donations at Work!
Renovations on the barn that houses the Visitor Center have begun and will continue until the end of April. Since the Visitor Center will be closed during most of this time, activities that normally occur there will be moved to another location. On weekends, the volunteer barnsitter/greeter will be set up in the kitchen to sell birdseed and birdfeeders. The entrance to the kitchen is the last door off the driveway.
Restrooms will be available during the construction. Click here to see images of the ongoing work!
