Animal Barn Capital Project

For over 50 years, The Natural Resources Trust of Easton has served as a cherished place of enjoyment for Easton residents and those in our neighboring communities. Our non-profit organization was founded to educate others about natural and cultural resources while promoting the importance of conservation and land stewardship.

Through decades of programming and community events, we’ve been woven into generations of nature experiences—fostering connections with the natural world for countless students, families, and individuals. We’re immensely proud to be where your nature memories are made.

With the addition of Charlie and Bucky to our animal family—and more four-legged friends on the way—the NRT needs a new barn to house our growing team. The barn will create exciting new opportunities for public engagement and educational programming across our campus.

"The NRT is stepping into an exciting new era — and things are just getting started! We're committed to honoring our mission and the rich history of this place by keeping our campus safe, welcoming, and full of life for our animals, visitors, and students alike. Our new barn project is underway! Highland calves Charlie and Bucky are getting the room they need to grow, and they'll soon have some new neighbors: a mini donkey, more sheep, and even more furry friends on the way. Our campus is about to be more fun, more vibrant, and fuller of wonder than ever. We can't wait for you to see what's coming!”
