About

The center includes live animal exhibits, walking trails, ponds, bird blinds, observation towers, treehouses, gardens featuring drought resistant plants, and protected areas for wildlife. It offers nature-based classes and activities for children and adults, as well as classes on environmental issues.

In 2003, the center added a 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) education building, constructed on green building principles and insulated with recycled materials.[1]

In 2018, artist Jane Kim painted three murals at the Ogden Nature Center featuring images of monarch butterflies as part of her Migrating Mural series to bring attention to declining species.[2]

gollark: Wouldn't really be very useful as a light source, and I think that would break things.
gollark: I'm waiting for Steam to go through its ridiculous updating so I can "simulate" it in Universe Sandbox.
gollark: The less bad way would probably be to just install really bright lights of some sort on it, powered by fusion or something, but it wouldn't illuminate much of Mars.
gollark: Ah yes, the highly advanced space simulation engine, I should try it in that.
