After years of planning and preparation, the Nature Center Stream Restoration is finally under construction. That means that the stream is now a construction site, and, as such, must be closed to the public. Rather than closing the entire Nature Center for the duration, we have closed only those trails that are within the construction area. We have put fencing across the trails at the closure points and put up maps showing which trails are open during construction. For everyone's safety, please respect these closures. When you are out walking the trails and you see a fence blocking the trail, please don't work your way around the fence to continue on the trail, even if other people clearly have done so. It costs us time and money to keep putting the fences back when patrons move them.
We can't put a fence all the way around the stream to cordon off the entire zone--too difficult, too expensive, and would damage too much of the vegetation. Instead, we are counting on every Nature Center visitor to cooperate with the trail closures and stay out of the construction zone.
So when you are out enjoying the beautiful natural environment, please keep your eyes open for construction signs and help us complete the stream restoration on time and within budget.
