Earthplace, The Nature Discovery Center
Westport

The mission of Earthplace is to educate the community about ways of taking action to preserve, protect and enjoy nature and the environment. Founded in 1958 and accredited by The American Association of Museums, Earthplace manages a 62 acre wildlife sanctuary with trails, houses live wildlife for public viewing, operates Natureplace, an interactive nature discovery museum, and presents many public nature programs. September 29 museum programs will focus on wolves, coyotes and "wild dogs." Talks, crafts and movies focusing on these species will be presented. Other activities include the Harbor Watch/River Watch water quality testing program, a state-licensed preschool and summer camp, and a wildlife rehabilitation program. On September 29, we will also be hosting the Norwalk Aquarium Society 41st Annual Tropical Fish Show. Visitors will be able to view the many fish species that will be on display. This show is also presented as an International Betta Congress Sanctioned Betta Show. On September 29, we will also be hosting the Norwalk Aquarium Society 41st Annual Tropical Fish Show.
