Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center Event Calendar - Wild Mushroom Festival

Since 1946, the Nature Center on Pequotsepos Road has provided visitors and the greater Mystic community the opportunity to experience nature first hand, whether it be on the more than 10 miles of trails on land owned by the Denison Homestead and Avalonia Land Conservancy, exploring our natural history exhibits, or as part of one of our many programs for all ages. The creation of the Coogan Farm property in 2013 added additional layers of education, history, and ecology to our cultural landscape. In 2021, DPNC added a Meditation Walking Path to the trails. Stations along the trail provides walkers a place for quiet reflection or meditation.

Our mission is to inspire an understanding of the natural world and ourselves as part of it – past, present and future. It is our hope that through DPNC and Coogan Farm that we will help our visitors foster a personal environmental ethic.
