Founded in 1964, Delaware Nature Society (DelNature) is a leading environmental nonprofit organization in the region. For more than half a century, we’ve worked to protect the environment and connect people to nature. DelNature is renowned for delivering nature-based educational programming for children and adults and inspiring communities with tools to take-action to protect the environment. We are a regional leader advocating on behalf of important issues related to conservation, land preservation, and the environment.  We manage over 2,000 acres of land statewide and have staff in four locations where we run public programs year-round:  Ashland Nature Center (Hockessin), Abbott's Mill Nature Center (Milford), DuPont Environmental Education Center at the Russell W. Peterson Urban Wildlife Refuge (Wilmington); and the Coverdale Farm Preserve (Greenville).  

Delaware Nature Society is proud to be the state affiliate for the National Wildlife Federation.
