Our nature center could not be possible without the continued support of the greater community in the Hattiesburg area. By donating to Lake Thoreau Environmental center you will assist us in our continued mission of creating an experience-based education experience. 

 

Every item donated makes a difference at Lake Thoreau! Items can be dropped off at the Natural History Collections Building at Lake Thoreau between 10:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. on Saturdays and Sundays.
