Through an agreement with the Walton County TDC, the environmental facility on the Nokuse Plantation near Freeport will be open to the public Fridays through Sundays from June 1 to Aug. 31, and on Saturdays from Sept. 1 to May 31.
The agreement may be extended after that. For more information visit www.eowilsoncenter.org.
Visitors to the center have been limited mostly to school groups.
School drop-off and pick-up times are a hectic blur of kids stumbling out of cars in the morning and hours later dashing back in to head home. At South Walton Montessori Academy these are also times to make crucial connections.
On a crisp fall afternoon teachers Catherine Beall, Natalie Jobling and David Hopkins carefully manage the pick-up line. They chat with moms and dads, pet family dogs and share tidbits about the day, just like family members.
Flag Warning System - current flag conditions are posted daily each morning and afternoon at www.swfd.org. For current conditions and flag updates text “SAFETY” to 31279.
