and Fort Lewis-Mesa Elementary School
In 1995, the Fort Lewis-Mesa Elementary School established Fort Nature at the Research Center. Fort Nature is designed to be a hands-on science classroom which offers teachers the opportunity to bring their classes to the Research Center on educational field trips to reinforce classroom lectures. The old Library building at the Research Center serves as an extended classroom and the headquarters for Fort Nature.
