Kalamazoo Nature Center: A Respite from Covidly Stressful Times!

I recently spent a sunny Saturday afternoon wandering the trails at the Kalamazoo Nature Center.

During these fraught-filled times, nature has been and continues to be a remarkably calming, grounding, beautiful experience!

It's in this spirit that I offer these photos of the walk.


This pond reflects the second, larger home that the DeLano Family built and lived in on their pioneer farm in Kalamazoo County, MI.



This is one of the trails that leads down to the Turtle Pond.


Another, beautiful part of the Turtle Pond trail, with the sunshine clearly showing the graceful marsh.


Here's a photo showing a recent development - the greenhouse set in front of the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) garden. Of course, during the spring-through-summertime, this land would be teeming with activity!



This is a replica of a log cabin that the DeLanos built when initially settling on their land. They lived i in such a cabin while building their much larger frame house!



And here's a moss-topped marker for one of the trails at the Kalamazoo Nature Center.

Many, many thanks to the Kalamazoo Nature Center to their dedicated staff and volunteers who have done their best to keep as much of the Nature Center open during the Pandemic as safely possible!

Here's more information on the Kalamazoo Nature Center.
