Summer at the Burrow Nature Center! 🌲

We still have a few spots open for our upcoming Forest School Saturdays (May 16 & Jun 6, 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM). This is our signature guided program for kids to dive deep into nature-based play and exploration.

NEW: Summer Community Days! ☀️
This summer, we’re opening the land for a series of free/donation-based days. These are less about "lessons" and more about Community & Connection.

While we won’t have the full Forest School educational lineup, we’re inviting families to come explore the trails, wade in the pond, and get to know other nature-loving families in our area. It’s a chance for the kids to run wild while the parents build community.

📍 RSVP is still required for all dates (so we can keep groups small and safe).

In this edition, our Executive Director Jordan Bantuelle shared highlights over the past year. In addition to forming a registered Mississippi nonprofit organization and IRS certified 501c3 and setting up the website and IT backend, we also accomplished so much in support of our education and conservation mission!

We host one of the largest gopher tortoise populations West of the Tombigbee River and the highest number of Black Pine Snake sightings in the state. We have submitted 9 grant applications to identify funding for habitat restoration for these endangered species. So far, we have received $1,500 grant funding received thanks to the Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund!
