About the Business
Nestled in the heart of Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, Jennings Environmental Education Center Classroom is a beacon of environmental education and stewardship. As one of several state parks in Pennsylvania dedicated to environmental education, Jennings offers a unique blend of prairie and forest ecosystems that serve as a living classroom for students, teachers, and the general public.
Educational Programs:
Jennings Environmental Education Center provides a wide array of programs designed to increase knowledge and awareness of Pennsylvania's natural resources. These programs are tailored for different age groups and emphasize hands-on, inquiry-based learning. Whether you're a teacher looking to enrich your curriculum, a student eager to explore the outdoors, or an adult interested in environmental stewardship, Jennings has something for everyone.
Unique Features:
One of the park's standout features is its 20-acre prairie ecosystem, which is home to distinctive prairie plants and the endangered massasauga rattlesnake. The prairie is also renowned for its spectacular blazing star flowers. Jennings holds the distinction of being the first reserve in Pennsylvania established to protect an individual plant species and remains the only public and protected prairie in the commonwealth.
Recreational Opportunities:
Visitors are encouraged to explore Jennings through its extensive trail network or participate in community programs to enjoy the outdoors while learning valuable skills for natural resource stewardship. The center is open every day of the year, from sunrise to sunset, with day-use areas closing at dusk.
Facilities and Amenities:
- Electric Vehicle Charging: A two-plug electric vehicle charging station is available in the main parking lot. Visitors are requested to move their vehicles once charging is complete.
- Hospital Directions: For safety, directions to the nearest hospital, Butler Memorial Hospital, are posted on bulletin boards and at the center office.
