The Hudson Highlands Nature Center is a nonprofit (501c3) center for nature, with a focus on Nature Education and Nature Play.  We use our living collections of native animals, natural habitats, nature play spaces like Grasshopper Grove, and trails to present a wide variety of programs at our two locations, the Outdoor Discovery Center (ODC) and Wildlife Education Center (WEC). Over the years we have developed an array of hands-on, experiential education programs to help children and families establish a meaningful connection to the natural world. The Nature Center is a leading provider of Nature Education experiences in the Hudson Valley that reaches over 30,000 people each year through our popular preschool program, weekend nature programs, summer camp, school programs, and more!

ACCESSIBILITY
Terrain and Getting Around
The tour will take place on grass, just off of a paved path. The program location is about 1 mile from the entrance along mostly level paved paths. Visitors may take the free, wheelchair-accessible Tram Loop from stop 1 at the base of the entrance path, to stop 2 near the program location. Trams depart from stop 1 at 15 and 45 minutes after each hour.

Restrooms
Accessible, single-occupancy restroom stalls are located in the Outdoor Lobby, near the entrance. Portable restrooms, including an ADA stall are located about ¼ mile from the program location off a level gravel path.

ASL interpretation, and Assistive Listening Devices with T-coil capabilities are available upon request at least two weeks in advance. Every effort will be made to honor requests made with less notice.
