Since the inception of the dream more than a decade ago, we've imagined having a center to grow our education programs and connect more people with nature.
And now, thanks to many generous donors, more than $4.6M has been raised for the design, permitting and construction of Phase 1.
Like many projects, delays and significant cost increases have caused us to increase the budget for this phase to $4,680,000.
We are racing to complete Phase 1. When the funds are raised we can install irrigation, plant trees and other plants, and add other final touches to finish Phase 1. Then we will turn our attention to Phase 2 which will see the construction of the first building and park enhancements. For now, it is essential we concentrate on raising the funds needed and complete Phase 1 construction. We are so close!
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES
Donation amounts of all amounts are appreciated and needed. If you are in a position to donate $200 or more, we have created some special and limited opportunities.
