Founded in 1975, the Irvine Nature Center has earned a reputation for providing quality environmental education for all ages. Located in the Greenspring Valley region of Baltimore County, Irvine provides programs for Baltimore-area schools and the public. We also offer a number of special events each year.

As well, the Center has a museum, a nature store, and a walking trail. Visitors are welcome Tuesday-Saturday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., and on Sunday between noon and 4:00 p.m.
