Inspiring Curiosity. Growing Care.

Curiosity is the starting point of every connection to nature. At Quarry Hill, children, families, and learners of all ages experience the joy of discovering something new, observing the natural world closely, and forming personal bonds with the environment. These experiences turn curiosity into care—and care into action.

As a nonprofit, Quarry Hill Nature Center prospers thanks to our community's generosity. Your donation directly supports the experiences that spark curiosity and foster a lifelong dedication to caring for the environment. 

Give a gift today to support those powerful “aha moments” that change how people see the world and their role in protecting it.
