The Nature's Angels Christmas Tree helps visitors give back to the State Park Nature Center during the Christmas season.
Simply pick an item from a “wish” ornament on the tree that you would like to purchase, and bring it back to the Nature Center to donate.
If there are items you think the Nature Center could use, tha...t you don’t see listed on the tree, simply ask a Naturalist, or a volunteer. Can you find the dune critters hidden amongst the tree?
