Indian Creek Nature Center

ICNC’s mission is to promote a sustainable future by nurturing individuals through environmental education, providing leadership in land protection and restoration and encouraging responsible interaction with nature. The purpose of Etzel Sugar Grove Farm is to establish sustainable, economically viable permaculture farming practices and create champions of nature through education and replication of these practices. ICNC’s vision of the farm is to create a sustainable, economically viable organic permaculture farm to educate farmers, ag lenders, land owners, procurement directors, academia, youth and other community partners on the importance of sustainable farming practices.  Much of the Nature Center's land, declared a National Environmental Study Area by the National Park Service, is open to free public use.
