Ijams: A cornerstone of our family for years

Simon

Open letter: Ijams Nature Center has been a cornerstone of our family life since my son (now 9) was a baby. It's been a place to  explore tadpoles and hold birthday parties and, now that he's older, it's a place to hike, canoe and attend nature camps. 

One of my favorite recent memories was building a bluebird house as a family as part of a Saturday morning Ijams program! 

I know that as the years go by Ijams will continue to be a part of our family, and we'll make more wonderful memories there. We are so lucky to live here and I know there are things to see that we haven't even discovered yet!!
