Native American Stories
In addition to the many hands on exhibits and workshops, childrens' books of Native American stories and river stories are among the tools used to educate and entertain the very young who visit the center.
PLEASE READ
After finding out that there are plans to demolish the thriving nature center at Gulf Branch in Arlington this summer due to budget cuts, I created the following group:

There is no monetary support being requested. The committee on saving the Nature Center is looking for people to help with community events, including speaking. Photographers can be especially helpful by going out and shooting at the park (off Military Road, most of the photos in the pool are geotagged so you can find it easily) and posting some photos that can be used for the project.
Of course, in the event the nature center does get demolished, these photos will serve as memorializing and preserving the exhibits, etc. that it once housed.
Also, there's information on a petition and other community activities and personal activities that you can take part in.
If you're at all interested in saving the Nature Center, please join the group, and participate.
In my opinion, it's definitely something worth preserving, even during this troubled economy.
