Wilderness Center Astronomy Club
Description
The Wilderness Center (TWC) is a private, non-profit nature center located in Wilmot, Ohio. It is dedicated to nature education, wildlife conservation, natural history research, and community service. It's main tract consists of 500+ acres in extreme southwestern Stark County, about 15 miles southwest of Canton.
Among the activities of TWC is a wide selection of "special interest clubs" operating under TWC's umbrella. Clubs devoted to birding, native plant study, nature photography, geology, backpacking, story telling, the arts, and even fly fishing are thriving in a symbiotic relationship with TWC. The Wilderness Center Astronomy Club (WCAC) is one of the older clubs, founded in 1983.
Because TWC is a membership-driven organization, members of the WCAC are required to become members of TWC if they are not already members. TWC provides us with a place to meet, encouragement on many different projects, and a well-known community organization to give our efforts more credibility. In return we give TWC members, potential volunteers, programming and educational support. It has been a wonderful relationship, and both sides have benefited from it.
