CP - D LAVELLE - PAST

FROM OUR PAST

TO OUR FUTURE

"Our accomplishments are emblematic of who we are and were we came from. Since 1966, community members, just like three generations of my family who have enjoyed and grown up at the Nature Center, have been forging a future for this conserved space. Decades later, we carried out the same mission to preserve the trails and habitats that give so much to our region."

UNPARALELLED

LEARNING EXPERIENCES

"Aside from the outstanding educational programs the Nature Center offers, the conserved space itself serves as a wise schoolmaster. The marsh, the prairie, the vernal pool, the forest and gardens whisper lessons for those who wish to listen and we successfully came together and contributed to its future. The enhancements will allow thousands to establish profound connections to nature and experience the boundless ways learning can take place outside of the four walls of a classroom."

A PROFOUND

CONNECTION

TO NATURE, OURSELVES AND OTHERS

"We are all passionate about preserving this urban oasis and ensuring a bright future for the next generation of environmental stewards. When you step into the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes, time seems to stand still and allows for deeper learning and connection with nature and others in our lives. We have preserved this space as an invaluable community treasure that would be deeply felt for decades to come."
