Wood Lake Nature Center Building Plan Survey

Wood Lake Nature Center is in the planning stage of a new building to replace the current one, which was built in 1971. We want input from Wood Lake's visitors in order to design a building that reflects how people engage with nature and seek a connection between their community and the natural world. We would greatly appreciate five minutes of your time to share your thoughts. Thank you!
