The Ozark Rivers Audubon Chapter and Audubon Trails Nature Center announced a $20,000 matching grant to raise additional funds needed to build an outdoor meeting, classroom and picnic shelter at Audubon Trails Nature Center.
According to Ozarks Rivers Audubon chapter officer, Louise Wilkinson, the structure will provide a sheltered area for meetings, educational presentations, tour gatherings and other community services.
It will be a 20 by 44 foot, pre-engineered pavilion with steel posts, wood laminated beams and metal roofing. The chapter will build the structure in the grassland adjacent to the parking area, and a concrete walk will connect the shelter to the American with Disabilities Act accessible trail.
