Sustainable Site

Let us tell you about our building!

Discover how we’ve infused the design, construction, and operation of our site with thoughts of our impacts on the ecological and social communities we share.

Visiting

What you’ll see and when to come:

  • Interactive Exhibits
  • Interpretive Trails

Please note: Although we love our furry best friends, we must ask that you leave your dog at home.  This will protect the waters of Cascade Creek, protect the growing wildlife population in our wetlands, and ensure that all visitors can have close encounters with beautiful and fascinating plants and wildlife. Thank you for your cooperation.
