Oxbow Meadows Environmental Learning Center



Opened in 1995 as a collaboration among Columbus Water Works, Columbus State University, and the City of Columbus,
the Center provides exhibits, displays and nature trails, and offers formal and informal programs about the ecology and natural history of the region.

The Center includes two classroom-laboratories, an auditorium, instructional media, the Natural History Discovery Center,
indoor and outdoor exhibits of living reptiles and fish, a stream habitat supporting various plants and animals, a pollinator garden, bee hives, and environmental art.

I wish to thank Dr. Michael W. Dentzau, Executive Director of the Center, for the opportunity to
view and photograph the release and dedication of several turtle species on October 30, 2014.
