Rogers Center & The Friends of Rogers

Rogers Center is New York State’s oldest environmental education center. New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation operated Rogers Center until 2010. In 2011, the Friends of Rogers, a private nonprofit organization, reopened Rogers Center to keep this regional treasure available to current and future generations.
