The Bethany Beach Nature Center located on
Route 26 in Bethany Beach, was in development for a couple of years.
Opening in June, 2009 it provides information on flora and fauna found
in the surrounding wetlands. The center is open Wednesday through
Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and the trail is open daily from dawn to
dusk. The telephone number is 302-537-7680.
The center is housed in one of the
earliest cottages previously owned by the Addy family. Beautiful,
full color panels inside the center provide an education for children
and adults regarding wetlands. The Town is seeking volunteer
docents to assist in providing a terrific
nature experience for all who enter the doorway and especially to those
who travel the nature trail into the wetlands. The trail is
composed of crushed, hard packed stone and supports walkers and allows
handicap access. After you review these pictures, you will
probably wish to visit the nature center and view it in person.
