White Clay Creek State Park History, Information & Events
ADVOCACY UPDATE:
THE NATURE CENTER COMPLEX
Currently, the Nature Center at White Clay Creek State Park is located in the Chambers House which is approximately 200 years old. The Chambers House has a rich history including how it and the adjoining 508 acres came to be protected public land.
READ THE HISTORY >The legislature has already allocated significant funding for the construction of a new Nature Center but MORE is needed to complete the project. We must BUILD ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE FUTURE and not shrink the project and jeopardize this unique opportunity to serve future generations. Don’t shortchange mother NATURE.
Please let our local legislators know that the requested floor space for the Nature Center must be retained. Email your representative today.
