“We love all of our vistors at Dragoon Trace Nature Center and getting to interact and experience the wonder of nature with them,” said Director Kate Zimmerman. “While virtual programming is not my first choice by far, it is still a way for us to keep that connection and encourage people to spend time in nature during this time of uncertainty. We are extremely humbled by the response to our first video and were not expecting such a huge following. Thank you for watching!”
