Nature

The Nature staff is always on the prowl for the next interesting animal, plant, tree, Scout, cloud, piece of bark, or even rock in the woods of Mattatuck. Feel free to visit us at any time throughout the course of your day. We are always open and always willing to share our knowledge. Your unit can help us set up displays, perform conservation projects, or simply locate the next teaching tool for other scouts to enjoy. Activities such as nature hikes, trees and shrubs, requirements hikes, and Leave No Trace are available. Each week we host a big bug, frog and fish competition. Scouts should bring their big catches to the Nature center for entry into the competition.

The Nature Center also offers fishing poles on a first come, first serve basis. It is always a good idea to bring your own pole if you plan on fishing many times throughout the week.
