The Indy Parks Environmental Education staff provide  a variety of services to the Indianapolis community.  Whether you stop by one of Indy Parks three nature centers for a program or whether a naturalist brings a program to you; our staff offers environmental education  programs that are engaging, educational and fun!  Our parks also provide a place to enjoy nature and explore the world around you.

Our Land Stewardship staff provides leadership and expertise in the preservation, restoration and continued management of Indy's Green Space.  If you have enjoyed a walk in the woods, watched a butterfly visiting wildflowers or listened to frogs in a wetland, chances are that our stewardship professionals played a part in that experience.

Come and enjoy nature in Indy!
