Since 2000, the organization has served more than 120,000 children and adults through outdoor education and recreation programs. More than 70,000 people annually visit ODC sites to walk the trails and view the wildlife.

Beautiful grounds with many neat trails to explore. Even areas for children to play and explore. Birds of prey building was our favorite part. The bald eagle greeted us with some lovely vocals.
