  Since 1985, The Discovery Center at Ridgefield has offered programs that focus on nature, science, history, culture, education, and the arts. From nature walks to canoeing to events with live animals or birds, these programs appeal to individuals of various ages and interests. We also welcome special groups -- such as preschoolers, clubs, or families -- and public groups, both large and small. Membership and participation is not limited to Ridgefield, and we encourage people of all neighboring communities to participate in our programs.

The Discovery Center is a non-profit nature organization without walls. We have no office, building, or meeting place, so we take advantage of diverse facilities, public open spaces, and private lands to make our programs flexible and innovative.

Membership in The Discovery Center enables you to attend most programs free and to receive a monthly schedule of events for advance notice. And your membership supports a program-oriented nature organization serving Ridgefield and surrounding communities.

The Discovery Center is staffed by our Director,  who is supported by board members, community organizations, and individual volunteers who donate their time and expertise to provide special and very affordable programs.

It is important to call for reservations if you intend to attend any of our programs. There may be a change in meeting time or place. Also, if not enough people call to reserve for certain events, the event may be cancelled.

If you have any suggestions about events or other feedback, please call or send an e-mail,
