Our Team. Our Mission.

Our mission is to promote conservation education and environmental literacy. We serve our members, the citizens of the Twin Tiers of New York State and Pennsylvania and all visitors to our wildlife refuge system. Some of the goals of Waterman Center are:

  • Expand environmental awareness of our visitors.

  • Provide conservation education programming for all ages, including classes, interpretive exhibits, trailside stations, booklets and signage.

  • Provide refuges which are quiet and safe for both wildlife and humans.

  • Provide quality environmental education programs tailored to meet the needs of area classroom teachers and their students.

  • Function as a regional resource center for environmental and conservation concerns for people and businesses within the community.

  • Cooperate with other centers and universities in research projects.

  • Provide the educational component in order to share research information with the public.
