This site was create by
a volunteer at
Earthplace, The Nature Discovery Center in
Westport, CT. Earthplace is a nature center with many features:
live animals, museum exhibits, trails, gardens and public programs
about nature, the environment and science.
Most institutions with
similar features are not visible enough as attractions and learning
centers in their community, so a decision was made to create a list of such
non-profit organizations. The facilities listed are categorized as
they are described on their websites, but their
attractions and facilities often overlap. The categories include: Nature Center, Zoo,
Aquarium, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Children's Museum,
Botanical Garden, Arboretum, Wildlife Center, Environmental Learning
Center, Paleontology Museum and Museum (a museum that included two or
more categories, such as art, science and natural history).
We salute the many
dedicated staff, board members, supporters and volunteers who work to support
these organizations and teach the public about nature, the environment
and science. We hope their efforts receive the recognition they deserve.
