Construction Update and ALNC Honored!

An Artist Rendering of the Expansion
As most of you know, construction is well underway for our big expansion project here at the Aldo Leopold Nature Center. The new addition will double ALNC's environmental teaching capacity to 60,000 students per year and increase usable space by 11,161 square feet!

Our goal is to create an environmental education facility and programming that will combine the best of 'high touch' nature education with 'high-tech' and represent a new approach for guiding students to understand the complex interactions behind climate change and our life on earth.

Last week our expansion project was featured on the U.S. Department of Energy's "Energy Blog"! Click here to read the blog post and here for a few photos of the construction currently underway!
