In continuing the legacy of its founder and namesake Jo Burgess, the Burgess-Shadbush Nature Center provides nature-related experiences and activities to help visitors of all ages develop and rekindle an awareness and appreciation for the natural world around them.

The nature center and the trap/archery range will be closed Thursday, Nov. 28 for Thanksgiving.

Haunted Nature Center

Little goblin and ghouls will enjoy spooktacular decorations, costumes, games and trick-or-treating. Learn about creatures of the night and other “creepy crawlies” by meeting live animals up-close-and personal.  Gather around the campfire with tasty s’mores as our cryptozoologist shares spooky stories of monster sightings reported in Michigan. This event is fun for all ages.  We recommend registration. The last admission each night will be at 8:30 p.m. The Nature Center will be closed during the day Oct. 19-23 to set up this event.

$5 per resident; $7 per nonresident. Infants 2 and under are free.
