Features the George Robert White Environmental Conservation Center, Trails and Boardwalks

Located in Mattapan and surrounded by residential neighborhoods in the city of Boston and abundant open space, the Boston Nature Center maintains 67 acres of natural habitats, with more than two miles of trails and boardwalks through meadows, marsh, fields, and woodlands. Adult groups can discover the benefits of green buildings while touring the George Robert White Environmental Conservation Center, featuring photovoltaic roof shingles, solar hot water, and geothermal climate control. Groups also have opportunities to learn about one of the city's oldest and largest community gardens, Clark-Cooper Community Garden, as well as explore the sanctuary's local flora and fauna with an experienced teacher-naturalist.
