The Wilderness Center
| 330.359.5235 or 877.359.5235
The Wilderness Center is a nonprofit, self-funding institution dedicated to nature education, wildlife conservation, natural history research, and community service. It is not part of any governmental agency.
.
A group of volunteers exploring potential locations settled on the Charlie Sigrist estate, which contained a forest tract of trees that had never been cut. Many of the trees were over 300 years old. This tract had the added advantage of being roughly equidistant from county seats of Canton, Massillon, Wooster, Dover/New Philadelphia, and Millersburg. At this location the Center could effectively serve a four county area. The headquarters tract has grown to encompass 619 acres of forest, meadow, marsh, and restored prairie. In 1967 the Wilderness Lake was constructed to help attract waterfowl and other aquatic life.
One aspect of The Wilderness Center continues to amaze many people. The Wilderness Center is privately supported by the contributions of its members, special fund-raising events, and ongoing services like the Tree of Life program.
The Center's endowment fund has grown from many small contributions, through bequests by generous individuals, and a successful endowment campaigns. Today, the Center owns a total of 1,293 acres scattered in Stark, Wayne, Carroll, Tuscarawas, and Holmes Counties. There are six trails totaling about ten miles at the headquarters tract near Wilmot.
