The construction phase of the boardwalk is now complete, and we are currently seeking donations for the following:
- Educational opportunities for our youth and community:
- We have begun to have The Harris Center host a year of OCAC educational workshops for public and private schools in the area. Thirty six workshops will be offered year round to classrooms who wish to participate. We are truly excited to offer this opportunity to all schools in the area with the goal that as youth learn more about this unique place, they will care about it, and protect it as they grow older.
Providing public adult and family opportunities in the evenings, such as guided birding and nature tours are included in this option.
