How to Create and Nurture a Nature Center in Your Community
Brent Evans and Carolyn Chipman Evans

The authors have been studying nature centers since 1996 when they surveyed 100 nature centers and interviewed leaders in the field. The University of Texas Press originally published How to Create and Nurture a Nature Center in Your Community in 1998, when it received first place in NAI's Media Award Competition. Since then, almost 3,000 copies have sold and traveled as far as Africa, Japan, and South America.

This revised edition provides up-to-date information and expanded discussion of topics key to nature center development. It outlines lessons learned since the first edition and important new developments in the field. The new edition includes updated information regarding organizations and resources, as well as expanded coverage of financial and organizational issues and government-based nature centers.
