A nature center (or nature centre) is an organization with a visitor center or interpretive center designed to educate people about nature and the environment. Usually located within a protected open space, nature centers often have trails through their property. Some are located within a state or city park, and some have special gardens or an arboretum. Their properties can be characterized as nature preserves and wildlife sanctuaries. Nature centers generally display small live animals, such as reptiles, rodents, insects, or fish. There are often museum exhibits and displays about natural history, or preserved mounted animals or nature dioramas. Nature centers are staffed by paid or volunteer naturalists and most offer educational programs to the general public, as well as summer camp, after-school and school group programs.
Some nature centers allow free admission but collect voluntary donations in order to help offset expenses. They usually rely on support from dedicated volunteers.
Nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or material world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The study of nature is a large part of science. Although humans are part of nature, human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena.
The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant "birth".Natura is a Latin translation of the Greek word physis (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own accord. The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socratic philosophers, and has steadily gained currency ever since. This usage continued during the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries.

Bear Creek Nature Center offers much to children and adults
In this video I take you to a park called Fern Forest Nature Center, though "park" may be the wrong word, it's more of a nature preserve and wildlife refuge, with a ton of exciting trails that follow along the path of the historic Cypress Creek. Fern Forest takes its name from the over 30 species of ferns you can find there, in addition to countless other native plant communities you can find in abundance there. The nature center itself features an exhibit room, a large dining room for events like weddings, reunions, or receptions, as well as an amphitheater. Fern Forest is also 100% free to get into, so there's no excuse to not pack a lunch, load up the family, and enjoy the whole day there!

Fern Forest Nature Center is one of those places that continues holding on to its natural roots. It has a rugged remote beauty that you would never expect in the middle of a city like Fort Lauderdale. after visiting there for 2 years I was surprised to find there are no videos representing the facility so I decided to produce this Mini Doc. I dont have expensive 4k gear but like my mom says "Use what you have." and that I did, This promo shows the spirit of Fern Forest, but its nothing like discovering it yourself.

Frank, Jeanette and I visit the El Dorado Nature Center in Long Beach, CA for a hike around the park. Once inside this oasis of natural habitat, it is hard to imagine that you are still in Long Beach! The 105 acres that make up the Nature Center grounds provide sanctuary for animals and plant life. Two miles of dirt trails and a ¼ mile paved trail wind around two lakes, a stream and forested areas.

In this video I pay a little visit to the Gumbo Limbo Environmental Complex in Boca. If you live in South Florida or are visiting and you're looking for something to do, either by yourself or with your whole family, Gumbo Limbo is a great place to go. There are outdoor aquariums filled with fish, there's a butterfly garden, a boardwalk trail, there's mangroves, and best of all there is an actual sea turtle hospital and research facility. All you have to do to get in is give a little donation and you're free to explore to your heart's content. Make sure to speak with the staff too, because they're eager to answer any questions.
This was actually shot between the beginning and the end of the mic video. I decided later it was better as two difrent videos. So thats why its a little akward.
