Follow Along on the Journey to Carbon Neutrality
Stewardship in Action
At Kalamazoo Nature Center, we believe that it is our responsibility to inspire people to discover, enjoy, value, and care for nature – fostering strong interconnections with the natural world. That’s why we are embarking on the Trail to Sustainability to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035. Through grant funding and donor dollars from folks like you, we can honor our deep commitment to being good stewards of the land. Come hike along with us on our journey to a greener future.
