Exciting new upgrades are happening at the nature center; remodeling may go through mid November.
Updates include new siding, new roofing, and new carpet, flooring and bathrooms. Please check the
nature center website at www.maplewoodnaturecenter.com or call 249-2170 for on-going updates and

Please Note: The parking lot remains closed until further notice. Three alternate trail entrances provide
walkers access; parking is on the street. Depending on the construction, some fall program locations
