Looking to the next 50 years of Dodge Nature Center and Preschool

Since 1967, Dodge Nature Center and Preschool has been impacting the lives of people through environmental education. Perhaps your life has been touched by Dodge in some way, too.

As this year comes to a close, so does the multi-year Nourishing Everyone's Need for Nature Campaign that has expanded access to Dodge properties and programs, renewed our commitment to the sustainability of our spaces and places, and set the stage for a lasting legacy of providing exceptional experiences in nature.

With the opening of the new Education Center at Shepard Farm, Dodge is able to serve more learners than ever before—which means we have an increased need for annual support.

As a community-funded nonprofit, Dodge relies on the generosity of donors like you to make connections with the natural world possible. Your support is vital to help finish the Campaign on a strong note and set the stage for a new generation of introducing people of all ages to the living world around us.
