2021 ANK Refuge Bilingual Preschool Program schedule
Ankeny Hill Overlook CLOSED
Ankeny Hill Nature Center construction is still in progress! 2020 work includes the new driveway, access, sidewalks, signage, volunteer space and interpretive elements. The first phase of the new nature center, an indoor and outdoor classroom, is planned to open in January. Sorry for any inconvenience during this closure and construction time. Thank you for your patience as we endeavor to bring you an amazing environmental education experience! This project is a long time in the making for the Salem Audubon Society, US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Friends of the Willamette Valley National Wildlife Refuge Complex. For more information on the project visit http://salemaudubon.org/ or click on Nature Center News.
A restroom is available at Pintail Marsh, off Wintel Rd.
