The building provides comfortable housing for short term stays, a kitchen and classroom meeting space. In 2006 the Thicket of Diversity All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory was launched. This amazing project is attempting
to inventory all species in the Preserve and has discovered new species to the state and even the world! Currently about 20 groups called TWIGS, Taxanomic Inventory Working Groups, are underway. Led by professionals, the TWIGS tap the assistance of volunteers called Citizen Scientists.
