At Dodge, we operate in many weather conditions. Events and programs will go on, rain or shine! Because Dodge’s buildings are open by appointment only, we do not encourage hiking on the trails when there is a risk of severe weather.
In the case of severe inclement weather, Dodge Nature Center and Dodge Nature Preschool follow the closing guidelines of School District 197. Should District 197 close due to snow or other severe weather, Dodge Nature Center and Dodge Nature Preschool will close programs, classes, and offices. Should inclement weather fall on a day when District 197 is not in session (such as a Saturday), Dodge Nature Center staff will communicate changes to program and event participants.
