| Facility: | Sarett Nature Center |
| Description: | This nature center, located in southwestern Michigan's Berrien County, has five miles of trails meandering through its 800 acres. Our trail system includes boardwalks, observation platforms, and an easily accessible barrier-free walkway. Trails running along the Paw Paw River bluffs provide great views of the river valley below. Boardwalks and observation platforms in the flood plain give you an up-close look at wetland wildlife and habitats including wet forests, cattail marshes, shrub carrs, and even a unique alkaline wetland called a fen. The best part is that you can see it all without even getting your feet wet! The primary goal at Sarett Nature Center is to provide quality environmental education for the community. Each year over 25,000 students ranging in age from preschoolers through adults attend programs at Sarett. Local school systems make use of our ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CLASSES like pond study, maple sugaring, dune and river exploration, natural communities, and winter ecology as a part of their curriculum. We also offer classes tailored for HOMESCHOOL students. During the summer months we conduct a variety of SUMMER CLASSES FOR KIDS. Aquatic study, insect study, canoeing, and mucking in the marsh are always among the favorites. |
