In accordance with current recommendations from the Lapeer County Health Department and the CDC, Seven Ponds Nature Center is asking everyone to wear a face mask inside the nature center building.
We appreciate your cooperation and kindness.
Check out our new dock on Treetop Pond!
Built entirely in-house by our own maintenance crew - nice job, Mike & Del!
Check out our new boardwalk through Rain Barrel Marsh!
In true environmentalist fashion, our maintenance crew (Mike & Del) used lumber salvaged from our dock rebuild to construct this boardwalk through Rain Barrel Marsh, which is perpetually muddy and therefore rarely traversed. Enjoy!
Fresh Paint!
Our handicapped parking lot was in desperate need of a paint job. Our maintenance crew made short work of the job, and we're very happy with the results.
