Nature Center
The Sherwood Island Nature Center, constructed and opened in 2009, is a summer facility that offers close-up experiences with live animals, displays about the environment and local history, and educational programs for people of all ages. It is supported by the Connecticut Department of Environment and Energy as well as by the Friends of Sherwood Island, an independent non-profit organization. In recent years the Friends group has sponsored a free Sunset Lecture Series and special family events on topics related to environmental preservation and proper stewardship of the state's natural resources.

“There is a hearty Puritanism in the view of human nature which pervades the instrument of 1787. It is the work of men who believed in original sin, and were resolved to leave open for transgressors no door which they could possibly shut.”
—James Bryce (1838–1922)
“Against the Word the unstilled world still whirled
About the center of the silent Word.”
