COME FOR A TOUR
Our resident naturalist, Matt Perry, is on hand all year round to educate and inform guests about our sanctuary and about all of our on-going projects. Besides being the full-time Director of the Nature Sanctuary,
Matt has an enormous knowledge of the flora and fauna and we can promise that a tour with him will be very enjoyable as well as educational. His love for the sanctuary is very evident in all that he does and he loves to share that with anyone who wishes to learn more.
