Welcome to Bernheim!
Bernheim is working to do our part to help “flatten the curve” of the spread of Covid-19, which means we’ve closed some our our buildings and cancelled programs, but we’re still open for your dose of fresh air, sunshine, and outdoor exploration – with 16,000+ acres, there’s plenty of room for social distancing. But we are still here to connect people with nature. If you want to come visit Bernheim (or find some nature activities to do at home), this is your contact-free one stop shop.
