New Wildlife Center to Open This Summer in Charleston

The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources plans to open its new wildlife education center this summer. The $5 million, 9,500-square-foot facility in Kanawha County will include educational space, an amphitheater and exhibits dedicated to the area’s ecology and native wildlife. The Claudia L. Workman Wildlife Education Center will be near Alum Creek at the Forks of Coal State Natural Area, named for the late Claudia Workman, whose husband, Jack, donated 105 acres for a nature-based education center. It will include hiking trails and bird watching areas too, and construction is on schedule.
