Explore, wonder and discover at the Highlands Center for Natural History in the Prescott National Forest. Everyone has a fundamental need to connect with the natural world. The mission of the Highlands Center is to foster that connection through outdoor education, based on observation, appreciation, and discovery of the Central Arizona Highlands thus creating wise caretakers of the land. Membership and donation dollars make up 75% of our operating budget and are critical to our continued success. All membership contributions are fully tax deductible.
