A campaign for irvine nature center
For over 50 years, Irvine has been a community resource for nature exploration and inspiration. As the largest independent nonprofit environmental education center in the Baltimore region, Irvine connects children, adults, and families to nature by providing access to the outdoors on our 211-acre property.
Irvine’s Cultivating Community campaign is an expansion and renovation project to build a new Environmental Education Center that will allow us to expand our environmental education and conservation programming. To date, we have reached 70% of our goal, with construction projected to begin late 2026/early 2027. By investing in Irvine, you are providing access to nature for all on our Baltimore County property for years to come.
OUR GOALS:
More room for teaching and inspiring.
The Environmental Center will give Irvine the space to meet that demand while keeping people’s connection to nature at the heart of the experience.
Reimagined spaces for all those in our care.
Our renovated exhibit hall will showcase the natural history of the Piedmont region, the trails and property at Irvine, and the importance of protecting our planet.
Greater opportunity to connect the community with the environment.
We recognize the need for access to nature. Increasing opportunities to access nature is critical to the health of our diverse community and at the heart of our Cultivating Community campaign.
