The Trade Station

tradeDo you enjoy studying the world around you? 

Have you every found something interesting in your yard? 

Are you willing to trade what you learned about the interesting item for a prize? 

If you answered “yes” to the above questions then you need to visit the Trade Station at the Warner Park Nature Center.  We trade cool prizes for your knowledge.  Prizes vary depending on how much you know, and include magnets, hand lenses and even posters

So get out and learn about nature, and please be a responsible collector!  Take only one of the item and you collect, always get permission, do not collect on land where natural

items are protected and please be aware you cannot collect in the Warner Parks.

Trade Station hours are Fridays and Saturdays from 2 – 4 PM, and during Spring Break week, March 18- 22 we will be open every day!
