Reopening of the Stokes Nature Center with new exhibitions and free programming.

Stokes Nature Center seeks funding to re-launch programming stopped due to the pandemic and create new programs to inspire all ages to learn and explore our connection to nature through the humanities. All are free to participants as we acknowledge the continued economic impact of the pandemic and high level of poverty in our area generally. Included are a nature center/museum, outdoor literature series with local authors, children's reading sessions, adult lecture series with local university professors, and more. Humanities teach us to examine both how we shape and are shaped by the world around us and nowhere is that more clear than in our connection to the natural world and our impact on the American West landscape. Much of this project, such as our museum exhibits, is developed in partnership with the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation to amplify their voice in the history of our valley and many will be offered in multiple languages to reach underrepresented communities.
