Located just six miles south of Charles Town, the Case Nature Center is a place for families to explore nature together. The indoor space has children’s activities, displays about butterflies, birds and other wildlife, and several ambassador animals, including turtles and a snake. This indoor space provides opportunities to orient visitors to the 63-acre Cool Spring Preserve before exploring the wetland, fields, and forests. A docent is available to greet visitors and answer questions about the Cool Spring Preserve and three other properties managed by Potomac Valley Audubon Society: Yankauer Preserve and Stauffer’s Marsh in Berkeley County and Eidolon Preserve in Morgan County.
While at the Cool Spring Preserve, visitors are encouraged to explore the Nature Playspace, Chimney Swift Tower, pollinator meadow, and 1.7 miles of trails through varied habitats.
The Case Nature Center is currently open 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesday – Friday, and the Cool Spring Preserve is open every day during daylight hours.
