Campfire Ring Pavilion Project
Tenafly Nature Center is in need of one more medium sized outdoor covered pavilion in its campfire ring education space. This space is currently utilized by thousands of school children, scouts, campers, and the public annually but does not provide any space for students to place their belongings or eat, nor does the current setup provide a conducive learning space for all groups. This additional outdoor classroom space will support and allow students to more closely observe our forest and wetland habitats all while providing shade and inclement-weather protection for participants in our year-round, all-season programming.
TNC constructed in:- 1990 a large pavilion near the parking lot
- 2021 a small pavilion on the old aviary footprint
Both of these areas have supported thousands of educational programs and their participants. They have provided a outdoor space that is usable, shaded, and safe to use in inclement weather for schools, scouts, camps, adults and families and many other group programs. Two of TNC's three camp programs have utilized these spaces as their campsites and groups have been able to also use these spaces for lunch time gatherings. Now we need one more medium sized pavilion near the campfire ring. This will complete our TNC campsites and ensure that all groups up at the nature center have designated spaces to enjoy their programing that is shaded and safe from inclement weather.
TNC needs your help to see this project to fruition.
