DeGraaf Nature Center
600 Graafschap Road Holland, MI 49423 http://www.degraaf.org phone: 616.355.1057 42.774825, -86.137386
Take a walk on the wild side at DeGraaf Nature Center. You don’t need to drive out of town to get in touch with nature. If you have 20 minutes or 2 hours, you will enjoy exploring the woodland, shrub, marsh and pond trails of this 18 acre preserve located within the city limits of Holland, Michigan.
During the winter, if there is 4-6 inches of snow on the ground, you may borrow a pair of snowshoes and explore the trails.
The Brower Interpretive Center is brimming with information and hands-on displays. Many special events are scheduled throughout the year. Visit DeGraaf Nature Center anytime of the year. Look for special events on Saturdays, and stop in to view any number of environmental films for free.
