Outdoor Classroom: Located in a forest setting near the Lucius Burch Natural Area, the location offers an outstanding opportunity to conduct classes on various aspects of our natural environment.
Wildlife Observation Tower: Located near Germantown Parkway the cornfields in front of the stand are cut and then flooded to attract waterfowl and other wildlife. It is an excellent place to watch the waterfowl as they depart in the early mornings on their daily food hunt and their return in the late afternoons. In season it is also and excellent location to spot some really big horned deer.
Agricenter International is a great facility for the benefit of all citizens.
