Friends of Millbrook Marsh Nature Center

Join to support quality environmental education programs in the Centre Region 

The Millbrook Marsh Nature Center was established in 1997 with the cooperation of Penn State University, ClearWater Conservancy, and Centre Regional Recreation Authority (CRRA). The nature center includes a 50-acre natural wetland and a 12-acre historic farmstead. The nature center is operated by Centre Region Parks & Recreation, an agency of the Centre Region Council of Governments, with support provided by a 16-member Volunteer Advisory Committee.

The Friends of Millbrook Marsh Nature Center is an organization of people who share the enthusiasm that MMNC is unique and extraordinary! Please join to support the operation and development of environmental, historical, and cultural initiatives at the nature center. The Millbrook Marsh Nature Center offers a unique setting in the Centre Region for visitors to enjoy outdoor recreation and to participate in environmental education programs in this special wetlands setting. The nature center offers program for groups, events and activities for families, recreation activities and outings, picnic facilities and rental facilities. The historic Pennsylvania Forebay Bank Barn provides a unique open space for activities and events at the center - a historic building worth seeing!

New in 2008, a volunteer "Friends Group Coordinator" will help plan fun activities for Friends and keep members up-to-date on nature center developments!  A meeting will be scheduled to orient members to the nature center and discuss the priorities of the "Friends" group.

Members will have the opportunity to:
• volunteer in special projects
• be invited to "Friends Only" activities
• receive monthly updates about upcoming activities
• receive 10% discount off program registrations
• save 20% off a MMNC T-shirt.

A 12-month, family membership for the Friends is $35 (resident or nonresident).
