New Canaan Nature Center
New Canaan, Connecticut, United States
The New Canaan Nature Center in New Canaan, Connecticut, was established in 1960 on the former estate of Susan Dwight Bliss, who dedicated her 40-acre property to the town for the study of nature, horticulture, and related sciences.
The estate had been developed earlier as an English-style property with greenhouses and large gardens, maintained by Susan and her aunt Catherine Bliss. Today, the Nature Center is a nonprofit environmental education organization focused on inspiring people of all ages to respect, protect, and enjoy the natural world.
It offers various programs in environmental education, stewardship of natural resources, and community service while maintaining the historic grounds and gardens.
