Wildlife Habitat Education Center Groundbreaking

You’re invited! Join us for the groundbreaking of the Wildlife Habitat Education Center at 4 p.m. Friday, Aug. 29, at the Touch of Nature Outdoor Education Center.

Thanks to a generous $3 million gift from SIU alumnus Chuck Trover, this transformative facility is becoming a reality — and we’re thrilled Chuck will be there to share his vision for inspiring future generations to connect with the natural world.

Enjoy remarks from SIU leaders, light refreshments, and the chance to be part of this historic moment for our community.

We’re deeply grateful for Chuck’s incredible generosity in making this dream possible.
