Fontenelle Nature Association was founded in 1913 to preserve the fragile and beautiful lands along the Missouri River just south of Omaha. FNA currently owns and operates 2,000 acres including the Fontenelle Forest Nature Center in Bellevue and the Neale Woods Nature Center and Millard Astronomy Observatory in Omaha. The interactive nature centers, 26 miles of marked trails and two all-access boardwalks provide endless opportunities for exploration of forest, prairie and wetland ecosystems. Additionally, FNA annually serves more than 35,000 students with nature education and provides regular public programming for people of all ages.
