I plan to build a 12’ x 15’ wood-framed pavilion to serve as a shelter for outdoor classes at the Woodcock Nature Center. The staff at the WNC often host students and visitors from neighboring communities. This will be a covered seating area located along one of the walking trails where the staff can meet with visitors and discuss education topics related to the interests of the visitors and the Woodcock Nature Center.
The location for the Outdoor Classroom is over a mile from the main facility and situated in the woods near a large marsh area. The site is ideal for observing birds and other wildlife, and since the area currently lacks any covered shelter for sitting among a group, it will open up a portion of the property that is not currently frequented by the staff for teaching purposes.
I plan to build this structure during the week of April 11, 2021.
More information about Woodcock Nature Center:
The creation of the Woodcock Preserve was the inspiration of J.M. Woodcock, a visionary Ridgefield resident. Today, with an unspoiled habitat of over 140 acres, the Woodcock Nature Center offers year-round activities and natural tranquility and beauty in the heart of Fairfield County.
Located on 149 acres of state-protected land, the Woodcock Nature Preserve includes a pond, wetlands, and 3 miles of publicly accessible woodland trails. The Center is home to a variety of living local and exotic creatures including snakes, frogs, and lizards. We also house a handful of injured birds of prey.
The Preserve is a haven for aquatic life and a remarkable variety of birds. Along our trails, you’ll find historic stone walls and stands of the old maple, beech, oak, and hickory trees. Boardwalks allow rare access through part of the rich, abundant wetlands nestled in the woods. In these graceful surroundings, young and old can experience the rich, renewing world of nature. Our woodland trails are open to all, sunrise to sunset, every day of the year.
Woodcock has been a source of environmental and nature education since 1972. The staff, which includes three full-time educators, works with local youth to teach and develop programming designed to instill a love and respect for nature. They work with the local protected wildlife to serve as a resource for educating the community about our natural surroundings through public outreach, school field trips and visits, on-site birthday parties, and our extremely popular summer camps.
The Woodcock Nature Center receives no governmental funding, so your donations and program and event involvement are crucial to our survival. Thank you for your support!
