Mission
The Delaware Nature Society (DNS) fosters understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the natural world through education; preserves ecologically significant areas; and advocates stewardship and conservation of natural resources. Three main program sites are maintained: Ashland Nature Center, Coverdale Farm and Abbott's Mill Nature Center (with its preserved, working mill). DNS owns or manages more than 1,100 acres of wildlife habitat for education and biodiversity and is the Delaware affiliate of the National Wildlife Federation. DNS has helped preserve more than 123,000 acres of Natural Areas and 84,000 of Farmland. More than 1.3 million people have attended our programs.
