Photos: Open House At Roy Hyatt Environmental Center
October 14, 2012
The Roy Hyatt Environmental Center’s annual Open House was held Saturday in Cantonment.
Visitors had a chance to meet the center’s resident reptiles, Eastern screech owls, hop aboard the one of a kind bird bus for a bird watching experience and take a stroll in the butterfly garden.
For a photo gallery, click here.
The open house also included the chance to hike though 120 acres of nature trails, visit a one room school replica and a dog trot house. And there were plenty activities for the children.
The Roy Hyatt Environmental Center on Tobias Road is part of the Escambia County School District. The instructional program currently includes field trips for second and fifth graders.

Tobias Rd, Cantonment. It’s a school district property used for educational purposes. It’s only open to the public as part of an announced open house (we usually run the date a couple of weeks in advance on our “EVENTS” page.)

We look forward to the open house every year. We really enjoy the activities that they do with the children. Thanks for allowing us to visit!
This is a great resource for children to learn that some animals, like snakes, bats, frogs, and geckos and lizards are very beneficial to our environment. Without them we would be overrun with rodents and bugs. It lets them see the world around them in a different light and hopefully will help preserve the environment for their children.
