Create the Sally Wylde Discovery Room

 

Front room

Wylde Center has identified a need for a welcoming, educational and interactive indoor space at the Oakhurst Garden, our flagship greenspace, where thousands of visitors, including community members, students on field trips and event attendees come each year. To fill this need, we are asking the community to help in creating an indoor nature center to enhance visitors’ experience at the Oakhurst Garden. The center will serve to deepen the understanding of the environment and the flora and fauna living in the Wylde Center greenspaces. We are naming this space to honor our founder, Sally Wylde, and we hope that it will attract new visitors and increase enjoyment and educational capacity for the community.
