About This Trail

Imported description

The nature center and trails are open to the public all year long. The Seven Ponds Nature Center is a non-profit organization that doesn't get any funding from the government. A significant portion of the nature center's operating budget is funded by the $3 admission fee for non-member adults or the $30 annual membership fee for individuals. This allows the small staff to maintain nearly seven miles of trails on almost 500 acres and to provide dozens of high quality programs for children, adults, and families each year.
