Greenwich 探花精选 Center stewards seven sanctuaries and private parcels (totaling 686 acres) in Greenwich, including the Main Sanctuary (and 探花精选 Center) located at 613 Riversville Road. Our center opened its doors in 1943, as the 探花精选鈥檚 first environmental education center, and has been welcoming visitors and serving as a leader in place-based nature education ever since.

Hardwood forests, open fields, a lake, streams, and vernal pools, as well as remnants of early homestead settlement, can be found at Greenwich 探花精选 Center's Main Sanctuary. In addition to its rich education programs, the center and staff coordinate 探花精选鈥檚  work in Connecticut. 探花精选 Connecticut's offices are also located at our main center building鈥攖he .
