Giving that Gathers Us: Where People and Nature Meet

Minnesotans gather around good things — a hot dish, a campfire, and a Nature Center that feels like home.

At Quarry Hill, nature gathers people together — just like a Minnesota hot dish brings everyone to the table.

A gift to Quarry Hill Nature Center, no matter the size, adds an ingredient to something wonderful: a place where kids discover the wild for the first time, families connect over nature walks, and everyone finds a little peace on the prairie and around the pond.

So let's take a Minnesota tradition, excellent hot dish, and add a heaping serving of community generosity to keep this place welcoming, vibrant, and open for all. Add your ingredient (your gift) to The Quarry Hill Hot Dish today!
