Since 1946, the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center mission is to “inspire and nurture appreciation and scientific understanding of the natural world and foster a personal environmental ethic.”
DPNC serves some 50,000 people each year with environmental science programs. Originally made possible through the long-term support and commitment of the Denison Society, the center is a private, not-for-profit organization funded by admission fees, memberships and contributions.
