About Sheldrake
Sheldrake Environmental Center is a 60-acre oasis of land and water that provides a sanctuary for wildlife and people.
The Sheldrake trails are open every day from dawn until dusk. Enjoy the quiet beauty of the property when you visit.
Our mission is to inspire awareness and action in the community and preserve, protect and enhance local resources.
When you join us and savor the delights of nature, we hope you’ll become more aware of the responsibilities we share as stewards of these natural resources.
