Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center Revenue and Competitors

For 70 years, we have provided visitors the opportunity to experience nature first hand, whether it be on the more than 10 miles of trails on land owned by the Denison Homestead and Avalonia Land Conservancy, in our natural history museum, our Nature Store, or as part of one of our many educational or recreational programs. The creation of the Coogan Farm Nature and Heritage Center in 2013 has added additional layers of education, history, and ecology to our offerings. Our mission is to inspire an understanding of the natural world and ourselves as part of it – past, present and future. It is our hope that through DPNC and Coogan Farm that we will help our visitors foster a personal environmental ethic. Founded in 1946 by a group of people interested in creating a wildlife sanctuary in Mystic that would "encourage the study and love of Nature," the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center has grown into a know, loved and trusted provider of environmental education and stewardship across eastern Connecticut. Our education programs reach into every school and library, and our hikes and other outdoor recreation provide hands-on environmental learning.
