PINE BLUFF - The Governor Mike Huckabee Delta Rivers Nature Center will show off its new look this weekend in Pine Bluff. The center has been closed since Dec. 14, 2010, for major renovations to the displays and interactive educational exhibits.
The nature center opened in 2001 and was the first of four centers operated by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.<br />
The re-opening will be 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., March 5. Not only will the new exhibits be available for viewing, but there also will be an arcade shooting game called Laser Shots, as well as an archery area similar to the AGFC's Arkansas National Archery in the Schools Program. There will be display booths from the nature center's quilting and plant swap groups.<br />
The nature center has added wildlife, boating and swamp exhibits, as well as forest and underwater dioramas. New display cases for temporary exhibits have been added. The center's signature crop-duster has been upgraded. New wall murals and a new video also are in place, as are a watchable wildlife wall and digital information board near the main entrance.<br />
The Governor Mike Huckabee Delta Rivers Nature Center is one of Pine Bluff's great attractions and has been toured by hundreds of thousands of people since its opening. It is in Pine Bluff Regional Park off U.S. Highway 65B. For more information, call the nature center at 870-534-0011 or visit its website at www.deltarivers.com.
