Explore Nature 2025

The Explore Nature Event will not take place again in 2025. PMCI continue to focus on expanding our Purple Martin conservation sites. 

Explore Nature 2023


2023’s Explore Nature event, sponsored by the Purple Martin Conservation Initiative, was held at North Park in Denham Springs, LA on Saturday, May 13, 2023 from 8:30 AM until Noon. A number of new exhibitors joined us this year and contributed to our focus on nature, conservation, and restoration. Exhibitors demonstrated how individuals of all ages and backgrounds can participate in helping preserve and restore our native habitats and wildlife.
