The Harris Nature Center

The Harris Nature Center (HNC) building opened in July of 1997 and welcomes over 20,000 visitors each year. The mission of HNC is to protect, promote and interpret the Red Cedar River and its surrounding ecosystems. Through creative exhibits, programs and exploration of the native environment of the Harris Nature Center, visitors are encouraged to observe, experience and appreciate this representative slice of mid-Michigan riverine habitat. Information regarding current hours and programs that the center offers can be found at www.meridian.mi.us/hnc or visitors follow the Harris Nature Center on Facebook and Instagram.
