　　James Clarkson 環境發展探索中心致力于探險和自然環境保護，教育大家重視生物多樣性，自然棲息地，和環境保護。恢復生態系統和其相關的野生動植物棲息地，優化自然界物種相互作用，同時維護和保護其敏感的生態區和瀕危物種迫在眉睫。通過恢復和創造濕地，草原和森林生態系統來解讀該地區的水文結構。這些，孩子們認為簡直是太酷了。

　　The James Clarkson Environmental Discovery Center is dedicated to the exploration and celebration of the natural environment, educating users on the importance of biodiversity, native habitats, and environmental protection. Restored ecosystems and their associated wildlife inhabitants are within an arm's length, optimizing interaction with the natural world, while preserving and protecting its sensitive ecological areas and endangered species. Interpretation of the area's hydrology is articulated through the rehabilitation and creation of wetland, prairie, and forest ecosystems. And kids think it's really cool, too.
