Dodge Nature Center
Sandra Krebsbach and Jake Sedlacek
attended a meeting at Dodge Nature Center
(DNC) on Wednesday morning. Jason
Sanders, has been serving as executive
director at DNC for one year, and wanted to
meet the mayor and discuss his vision for the
nature center’s three locations.
Mr. Sanders wanted to make sure that our
citizens understand that while this is not
public property, their mission is to introduce
nature to the public. Citizens are encouraged
to visit the sites, explore the trails and take
advantage of their great youth and family
programs.
Dodge is a tremendous resource to our
community—you can find out more at
