Guiding the Reopening

The Wilderness Center (TWC) is proud to announce the release of the COVID-19 Nature Center Toolkit, and extensive guide to address the challenges unique to nature centers and nature organizations. TWC Executive Director Jeanne Gural was instrumental in this collaboration between select members of the Association of Nature Center Administrators (ANCA) and Marshall & Sterling Insurance.

The Toolkit contains a compilation of resources, best practices and evaluative tools to help executives to safely reopen their sites, establish new procedures and manage risks throughout the pandemic.

“This resource strongly contributes to our field and will undoubtedly help many nature centers navigate the pandemic,” ANCA Executive Director Jen Levy said of the teams’ efforts.

Gural was a featured panelist in a national webinar presenting the COVID-19 Nature Center Toolkit on Tuesday, June 30th. Panelists Irene Jones (Marshall & Sterling) and Chad Truxall (Marine Discovery Center) joined Gural in leading executives through the toolkit and addressing their questions and concerns.
