Have you noticed the new mural at the Nature Center? You can also see it from the Amphitheater at Altherr Nature Park. A huge shout out to the Roy L Whistler Foundation for their support in providing funds for projects at the Nature Center. Also, to Brett Whitacre for his artistic detail bringing the mural to life.
