Rye Nature Center is owned by the City of Rye and operated by The Friends of Rye Nature Center, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit educational organization.

NEW: Your photos and anecdotes needed!  In preparation for the 50th Anniversary of the Rye Nature Center in 2009, we are creating a commemorative book that will be a retrospective and tour of the Nature Center, its grounds, and its half-century history. The photo-rich volume will be informative and fun while spanning the origins of the land, up through the early and middle years and through the present state of the Rye Nature Center.  <<Click here for details>>
