OMG I love this Nature center so much that I decided to move here, I now live under the bridge which is very enjoyable and smells like feet and bacon

what I like about this place is it's all About nature it has a few different trials it has a bird watching facility that's in their center and one on the James river and its on the back of Springfield lake it's very peaceful and very beautiful and it's free I would highly recommend taking children there if you go there in the early ...
