Now functioning as a nonprofit, fully supported by the community, continues its mission of educating, engaging and empowering, to become stewards of the natural world.

In studio to feature some of the activities at this longtime local preserve -- including the upcoming Valentine’s event Snowshow With Your Sweetie next weekend -- is new president and CEO at Blandford Nature Center, Jason Meyer.
