Sharing secrets of science and nature in the New River watershed with West Virginians and their friends
Voted the #1 Birdwatching Spot in the Best of the Blue Ridge: 2022 Readers' Choice Awards! While exploring, be considerate to leave only soft footprints and take only litter. The Boardwalk and Trails are maintained by donations and volunteers. Open from dawn to dusk. Admission is free. Donations are welcome.
With a gorgeous view in any season, this gem of a spot hosts migrating birds and overflows with plant and wildlife. Since 2008, the Center serves as an environmental education hub for residents, businesses, and visitors from across and beyond West Virginia as an outdoor classroom featuring a Wetlands Boardwalk and self-interpretive Woodland Trails... and plans for an Observation Deck.
