About[]
The center includes live animal exhibits, walking trails, ponds, bird blinds, observation towers, treehouses, gardens featuring drought resistant plants, and protected areas for wildlife. It offers nature-based classes and activities for children and adults, as well as classes on environmental issues.
In 2003, the center added a 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) education building, constructed on green building principles and insulated with recycled materials.[1]
In 2018, artist Jane Kim painted three murals at the Ogden Nature Center featuring images of monarch butterflies as part of her Migrating Mural series to bring attention to declining species.[2]
