Nourish Your Need for Nature™
Since 1967, Dodge Nature Center and Preschool has been connecting children and adults to nature. Our mission is to provide exceptional experiences in nature through environmental education. We invite you to hike our trails, join an upcoming activity, and more.

Give to the Max 2026
At Dodge, nature is for everyone. From the tiniest tots to those young-at-heart, Dodge is a place where memories are made, passions are discovered, and connections with nature grow.
But access matters. Every donation made during Give to the Max (Nov 1–19) helps support the nearly $85,000 financial assistance Dodge awards each year to program participants. Your support opens the door for more children and families to experience the wonder and joy found in the natural world.
"Remember when..."
Dodge Nature Center’s 60th anniversary (1967–2027) is coming up next year! As we prepare to celebrate, we’re gathering stories and memories from the people who make Dodge so special (that’s you).
Whether you attended a program, volunteered, or simply enjoyed time on the trails, we’d love to hear about your connection to Dodge.
