Jones County Nature Center


Overview

The Jones County Conservation Board would like to invite you to consider the Jones County Nature Center, your communities, and the many outdoor areas of Jones County as rewarding locations to learn about our natural environment. You will find our diverse ecosystems and wildlife offer many educational opportunities.

The Jones County Conservation Board Naturalist is available to give environmental education programs to schools, daycares, youth and adult groups, and the general public upon request. Programs can be given at almost any location, including at the group's place of meeting or in the classroom. Programs can be given indoors or out-of-doors depending on the circumstances. Naturalist programs are given at no charge and are tailored to the group or class request. The primary purpose of the Nature Center is to provide a place for environmental education. Programs for the public, schools, and other groups are held regularly at the center.  Several educational displays and hands-on activities can be viewed in the Nature Center most weekdays Monday through Friday. The Nature Center has exhibit space and a medium-sized meeting room with a kitchenette. From Memorial Day through Labor Day the Nature Center is open from 1 p.m. to  5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.  Throughout the year it is open most weekdays.
