An architectural rendering of the new the Mary Ann Brittain Education Center currently under construction at Prairie Ridge Ecostation in Raleigh, North Carolina

Welcome to the Mary Ann Brittain Education Center

Construction of the Mary Ann Brittain Education Center begins tomorrow, April 1. This new Education Center will add an indoor classroom, accessible restroom and dedicated educator space—significantly expanding opportunities for learning in every season.

Prairie Ridge Ecostation will be temporarily closed to public visitation beginning April 1. While general access will pause, the site will remain active with small registration-based programs, scientific research and collaborations, and ongoing stewardship of its 45-acre landscape.

We anticipate reopening in 2027 and will share updates along the way. We are deeply grateful to the donors and supporters making this project possible.

Thank you all in advance for your help and patience during this transition. And thank you for being part of Prairie Ridge's future.
