James & Anne Robinson Nature Center
This year saw a focus on the maintenance of the natural materials in our Nature Place. While offering many benefits for outdoor, unstructured play, these natural materials quickly wear down and degrade due to use and natural decay. Sadly, our large Sycamore crawling tunnel logs had to be removed for safety, but we are excited to see what our Maintenance and Conservation team will build to take its place! We continue to see many new faces enjoying our unstructured play areas with our biggest hits this year being the addition of a new, 16-foot rope spider web and upgraded culinary implements in our mud kitchen.
