In June 2023, the Groton Nature Center celebrated a grand reopening after significant renovations to the structure and exhibits. Vermont Parks Forever, the non-profit foundation for Vermont’s state parks worked with ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain and Vermont State Parks to collaborate on the renovation of the Groton Nature Center. Interpretive displays, created and installed by the ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, were funded by Vermont Parks Forever donors. Reconstruction of the nature center was funded by the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Construction began in summer 2022.
