Half Way There

Midsummer is almost here and the nature center is nearly halfway complete.

The welcome center addition to the nature center is taking shape.  Visitors will enter through double glass doors on the right.  Inside the welcome center an elevator on the left will make the program spaces in the floor below accessible to all.
