Severson Dells Nature Center strives to create a sense of place for the people who visit our site or take part in our programs. It’s a location where the names of plants, and animals as well as people become familiar to all. There’s a comfortable feeling one gets whether you are walking along the creek on the way to the dells or just sitting in the “bird room” watching the chickadees and nuthatches devour sunflower seeds from the feeder.

A sense of community grows out of such a sense of place. People get to know others who share their love of nature, their gratitude for solitude or a chance to take a nice walk in the woods. Severson Dells Nature Center, thanks to the generosity of The Law Offices of Jim Black and Associates, wants everyone to celebrate the sense of community by coming out to the “Spring Awakening Gathering” at the Pecatonica River Forest Preserve, 7260 Judd Road, Pecatonica, 1:30 p.m., Saturday, March 14.
