A message to our visitors

Per Saint Vincent College:
Effective immediately, all college-sponsored on-campus events through May 25th are cancelled. 
As the circumstances with COVID-19 continue to evolve, we will remain vigilant in our monitoring of the situation
and will provide updates to the entire Saint Vincent community as they are available.
 Unfortunately, this means that our programming through April 1st is cancelled
​and the Learning Center Barn will be closed to the public.  
Please feel free to visit our trails during this time. We appreciate your understanding and wish you wellness in nature.


OUR MISSION

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