Welcome To The Wilderness Center
Welcome to The Wilderness Center. We are a non-profit nature center in Northeast Ohio. We have 10 miles hiking trails through old growth forest, prairies, a lake, a pond, and a look-out tower. Stop in at the Interpretive Building with a wonderful Nature Store, interactive Display Room, and Wildlife Observation Room. We also have an Astronomy Education Building with a Planetarium and Observatory. We are protecting 2,931 acres of forest, streams, prairie and farmlands. The Wilderness Center has been serving the community as the “go to” nature center for education and land conservation since 1964. Winners of Foto Fest Announced!
