A message to our visitors...

The Winnie Palmer Nature Reserve staff and volunteers are thrilled to open on Wednesdays!
As we navigate welcoming the public back to the Learning Center Barn while creating new and exciting programs for everyone,
we remain cautiously optimistic that in the near future we may resume normal operations.
In addition to our opening on Wednesdays, WPNR will offer FAMILY FUN FRIDAY programs on select Fridays. 
We take pride in providing a safe learning environment for everyone, 
from our tiniest to our eldest visitors 
with programming that includes socially distanced hikes and various activities along our trails.


 Winnie Palmer Nature Reserve promotes children’s health and well being through nature exploration. In order to protect the health and safety of our youngest to our eldest visitors, we will continue to require masks for everyone that enters and explores our learning center barn, or while gathering for any of our outdoor programming regardless of vaccination status.  

We appreciate your understanding and wish you wellness in nature.

​​Reserve grounds will remain open for all visitors - dawn to dusk - year round.  
​Please be respectful of others, by social distancing and wearing a mask when appropriate.



O U R   M I S S I O N:

We foster environmental stewardship through
​education, recreation, and conservation.
