the Friends of Salmonier Nature Park, with assistance from park staff
constructed an outdoor classroom in the picnic area of the park. The
classroom provides a great area to present interpretive programs to visiting
school groups. It is also an ideal stage area for visiting entertainers
on family fun days and other special events.
