Groton Nature Center
A Natural Connections restoration project.
Groton Nature Center - Grand Opening June 11, 2023
The Groton Nature Center, a project of Vermont Parks Forever’s Natural Connections program, has been restored through the public/private partnership between Vermont Parks Forever; ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain; Vermont State Parks; and the generous support of many donors.
The new nature center will provide innovative educational opportunities with the goal of establishing life-long connections between park visitors and the natural world. The Groton Nature Center will tell the story of human relationships with nature in Vermont, encouraging an appreciation for and fostering responsible stewardship of Vermont’s natural resources.
Join Vermont Parks Forever on June 11, 2023 from 11:00am to 2:00pm for a grand opening event at the new nature center at 1595 Boulder Beach Rd in Groton. This will be an open house event featuring tours of the new nature center, light refreshments, raffles, and much celebration!
