Summer Camp Registration opens on Friday, March 1st, at 9:00am

Our mission is to…“Inspire the appreciation and enjoyment of nature, through education and conservation, fostering a healthy environment and an improved quality of life.”

One of a kind in the state of Connecticut! The Wallace Barnes Nature Trail began construction in March of 2023. This one mile-long nature trail will be fully accessible to people using wheelchairs, strollers, walkers and other mobility devices.

The trail is located at the Harry C. Barnes Memorial Nature Center. The trail will feature benches, pull off sheltered areas, and signage as it leads you through various habitats.
