Renovations aimed at restoring some Wickiup Hill Learning Center exhibits to their original condition while enhancing the overall visitor experience will take place starting December 3. This project will breathe new life into the displays, ensuring that they accurately reflect the region’s unique ecosystems, biodiversity, and cultural history.

“By updating the interactive elements and educational materials, Linn County Conservation’s nature center aims to create a more engaging and informative environment for guests of all ages,” said Kent Rector, Wickiup Hill Learning Center Manager. “We appreciate the public’s patience during this project.”

To facilitate these improvements, all Wickup Hill Learning Center indoor exhibit and display areas will be closed from December 3 to December 10. There will be limited access to the building. Restrooms will still be available for use during normal business hours. Outdoor areas continue to be open sunrise to sunset.
