Virtual Visit
We're all seeking to find educational and recreational opportunities to keep our minds and bodies engaged while the world is changing in these difficult times. While the Nature Center is closed, we do have 4.5 miles of trails to explore (at a safe distance!). In the meantime, the Education Team has curated educational activities to do at home, outdoor fun and exploration, and behind-the-scenes looks at some of our animals inside the Nature Center.
We'll post new content throughout the week to encourage outdoor fun and recreation and ways to explore the natural world.
As you can imagine, donations during this time of uncertainty is critical to allowing us to maintain the Nature Center and outbuildings, the live animals that call Asbury Woods home, and to protect the 205 natural acres that make up Asbury Woods. If you're able, please visit www.asburywoods.org/donate to support.
