The Westwood Hills Nature Center has 160 acres of pristine nature for visitors to marvel at and enjoy. The flora include woods, marshes, and restored prairies. There are animals as well, such as owls, foxes, deer, various birds, and turtles. It officially opened in 1981, and it has been a place of respite ever since. It's a place to learn about nature, and they have a new interpretive center project that when completed will be a better facility for the nature center. Some of the activities that can be enjoyed at the WHNC are archery, snowshoeing, birdwatching, and geocaching.
