With an indoor nature center, Roberts Stadium would work in unison with Wesselman Woods. At the Greenburgh Nature Center in Scarsdale, New York, exhibits feature a live animal museum with more than 100 specimens, a greenhouse with a variety of plants from all over the world, and a large exhibit room with changing natural history and nature-related art exhibits. Their main building, which is historic, has been adapted to meet the needs of an environmental education center, while maintaining the building's historic and rustic character.
Most of the opponents to the ballfield proposal want some kind of nature on the lot. With this proposal, both nature lovers and those in favor of preserving Roberts Stadium would win.
The center would be instrumental in teaching those in the area about nature as well as giving the locals the opportunity to see exotic animals they ordinarily wouldn't see.
I also propose that the creek that naturally runs up to Roberts Stadium be opened up, and the back parking lot turned into more Wesselman Woods. This would help Roberts Stadium blend in with its environment as well as give it the opportunity to be the new entrance to Wesselman Park.
