Newman Wetlands Center

Call Directions Website

Newman Wetlands Center NWC is a nature area dedicated to environmental education where everyone is welcome. Newman Wetlands Center is an excellent place to see wildlife.

Newman Wetlands Center is a nature preserve that offers large group programs, self-guided programs and homeschooler Friday programs. Newman Wetlands Center’s All Terrain Chair (ATC) is available for use to visitors with mobility issues who otherwise might not be able to enjoy our park trails. We recommend bringing binoculars or a camera with a zoom lens. If you don’t have either, you can still enjoy wildlife viewing here. When staff is available, we allow guests to borrow binoculars while they are on-site. Newman Wetland Center offers various nature trails. The first Saturday in November is our FREE family annual Wetlands & Watershed Festival.

We host free nature play experiences on most Mondays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.! Bring your kids for unstructured outdoor play. Sessions center on forest school and emergent learning principles to build critical thinking, calculated risk-taking, and empathy.

The only rules:
Be kind to yourself.
Be kind to others.
Be kind to nature.

Currently, registration is not required. We will do a quick welcome and then head into the forest by 10:15 each morning.
