Sustain the Cove through the B for Burgundy Campaign

The Cove is first and foremost a nature sanctuary and setting for exploration in the outdoors.  The main lodge at the Cove is well loved, and has been a home away from home for Burgundy students for half a century, and it has outlived its lifespan.  Burgundy has completed a master plan for the Cove, and our first priority is to replace the lodge with a new building that can support the next five decades of environmental education at the Cove!

The new structures we have envisioned will retain the simple aesthetics and elemental design that define our current facilities.  We aim to create a space that feels like part of the landscape and facilitates the immersion in nature that makes days spent at the Cove so memorable.

The new buildings will include an updated kitchen and dining facilities, along with teaching and learning spaces, and secure, weather and animal-proof spaces for materials, equipment, and natural specimens. Additionally, we are planning for limited three to four-season functionality so that researchers, educators, and students can have access to the sanctuary at all times of the year.
