Interested in challenging yourself and learning a new skill as you explore the great outdoors? Then I have a gem of a place to share with you. Rockwood Nature Center, the only Nature Center operated by Chesterfield County Parks & Recreation, is nestled in the forest of Rockwood Park and is a great place for young and old to make new discoveries. Within the park of 161 acres, you’ll find 5.5 miles of hiking trails, various sports facilities, an arboretum, an archery range and Rockwood Nature Center. Watch this Science Matters video for a “sneak peek” into the Nature Center and what’s happening on the archery range.
