Home to Berks Nature's headquarters, Eco-Camp, and a new Nature Preschool, the Nature Place sits among nearly 100-acres in Reading's Angelica Park. Take a stroll through the wetland trails. Let the kiddos run free with their imagination in our Nature Play Zone. Then retreat inside to our lobby and store for educational programs and activities, capped with a tour of the green features of the building- designed to achieve LEED Silver status. Stop out and see what The Nature Place can offer you!
