Due to the risks associated with the spread of the COVID-19 virus, and some complaints of groups not adhering to the social distancing policy, the Gates Rogers Foundation board has voted to close the Nature Center through the month of April, 2020.

We will re-evaluate the status again the first of May. We feel that we will be supporting the Governor’s policy for Arkansas with this decision.

We don’t make this decision easily and hope to see the community back at the Nature Center once it reopens.
