| About us | Decades ago, Marie Aull gave her land to the Miami Valley, creating National Audubon Society’s first nature center in the Midwest. Today as visitors explore the Marie S. Aull Education Center, walk the trails and experience Aullwood’s sustainable farm, they discover why Aull’s gift is a paragon among nature centers. More than 110,000 people of all ages engage in exciting on-site or outreach programs every year. By nourshing familiarity with nature and sustainable agriculture, Aullwood stimulates many visitors to environmental activism. |
