Equipment/building rentals

Building Rental

As a gesture of good will, the Nature Center waives the rental fees if you are a non-profit organization whose primary function is working with the youth. The events must be chaperoned. For all rentals, a $25 refundable cleaning deposit is required. When you are finished using the building, we ask that it be left in the same condition as when you arrived. A checklist is provided at the center.
