Dear Friends,
As we enter this season of gratitude and celebration, many of us pause to appreciate the people and places that enrich our lives. At Cope Environmental Center, this time of year reminds us just how fortunate we are to be surrounded by a community that values nature, learning, and connection. Reflecting on 2025, our hearts are full. Everything we accomplished this year was possible because of you, our generous donors, enthusiastic visitors, and dedicated participants.
From the thousands of children who explored the outdoors through our field trips and summer camps, to the seniors who engaged in our outreach programs, to the many individuals and families who joined us for guided hikes and spontaneous woodland adventures, your presence brought life and purpose to every corner of Cope.
Whether you spent time discovering wildlife along our trails, paused to enjoy the calm at Kite Pond, joined us for our beloved maple syrup programs, or came out to celebrate with us at Birds, Brews, and BBQ, we hope each visit left you inspired by the wonders of the natural world.
As we look ahead to 2026, we’re excited for new opportunities to grow, learn, and steward this space together. We invite you to follow along with upcoming programs and announcements on our website and social media channels.
Thank you for being an essential part of the Cope community. Your support fuels our mission and strengthens our commitment to environmental education. May this holiday season bring you peace, joy, and a renewed sense of connection with nature and with one another.
Warmly,
Marcy Crull
Executive Director
