The
Nurture Nature Center in Pennsylvania was founded with the help of the Nurture
Nature Foundation, a nonprofit established in 1991 that
is headquartered in New York. The Nurture Nature Center is dedicated to addressing the fundamental conflict between economic development and conservation of the environment.
Upon completion, the Nurture Nature Center will include a variety
of exhibits, programs, and other educational activities related
to the river and other environmental concerns. A principle focus
will be a Flood Project,
devoted to educating the public about the flooding problem that
has become so urgent in the region and elsewhere.
The Nurture Nature Center is located in the City of Easton,
which lies at the confluence of the Delaware River and its second
largest tributary, the Lehigh River. The historic building that
houses the Center is currently being restored. For information
