About the Ozark Natural Science Center
The mission of the Ozark Natural Science Center is to enhance the understanding, appreciation and stewardship of the Ozark natural environment. We achieve this by providing education programs that immerse participants in the wonder of the Ozarks ecosystems and celebrate ecological and cultural diversity, foster conservation and stewardship, and nurture appreciation of nature in the Ozarks. Our programs focus on helping children and adults develop a sense of place and a wonder for the diversity of life and the importance of natural systems around us.
The central campus includes three lodges, an education building, guest housing, faculty housing, the Stewart Springfield Memorial Outdoor Classroom, an observation deck, and almost eight miles of maintained hiking trails. ONSC’s school-based programming offers hands-on, experiential field science opportunities to more than 4,000 students from northwest and central Arkansas and northeast Oklahoma including 700 Rogers and Bentonville fifth grade students.
