Public Events

For three decades, the CNC has served the community with a variety of public events:

Animal Exhibits

The CNC houses and cares for over 30 animals. Come meet one of our many birds, bugs, reptiles, and mammals. The indoor animal exhibits are open in conjunction with the main lodge. Our outdoor animals are viewable from dawn to dusk. The Butterfly House is open seasonally from June to August.

Treetops

Our 44 ft. high, 6 story, North American tree canopy observational tower, constructed by the local community in 2000, serves as the highlight of any visit. Come enjoy the breathtaking views and exciting educational opportunities that await you in the largest tree-house you'll ever experience. Click to read more about the construction of Treetops.

Trails

The CNC offers five miles of trails, which are open to the public 365 days a year for walking, bird watching, and nature interpretation. The foot trails meander through a mature deciduous forest, along gorges, waterfalls, and streams, and past a variety of native plants and wildlife. Click to download a trail map.
