  • Letter from Fofnc President, Ron Eggleston
    History of Carl G. Fenner Nature Center From its Beginnings until 2012 By Ron Eggleston 1 Introduction The story of Fenner Nature Center is full of interesting events and people. The stories of persons who shaped Fenner reflect dedication, luck, religious faith, coincidence, tragic loss and humor. The place as we know it today is the fruition of the hopes and plans of many people who believed that the best way for one to find meaning in life is to immerse oneself in, and fully appreciate, nature. While not all contributors to the Fenner legacy saw things from the same perspective, they all saw Fenner as a place where people and nature could connect. Not only have many people shaped Fenner, Fenner also has shaped those who worked and volunteered there. A note on terms used here. To avoid confusion, I have referred to the park as Fenner Nature Center (or its earlier names) and the building as the Visitor Center. This terminology has not always been used by Fenner staff and volunteers. This history is part of an ongoing story and an effort to show how the place now called Fenner Nature Center has come to play an important role in the lives of the people of greater Lansing. I served on the Board of the Friends of Fenner Nature Center and its successor, Fenner Conservancy, for over 17 years, including several years as President, including the time of the organization’s transformation into a managing entity for the park. I have used my personal recollections of events and access to all historical documents from Fenner’s past, as well as interviews with many actors in the Fenner story, to create this history.
