A Special Note for Class Instructors

Manatee County’s Natural Resources Department is always seeking to expand the quality program we offer to the community. If you would like to host a public class or program in the NEST please contact us. The rental/reservation process is the same, however there is a fee discount if the program is held in partnership with the County.
