The Ozark Natural Science Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit field science, environmental education and conference facility located in the Ozarks of northwest Arkansas. Our mission is to enhance the understanding, appreciation, and stewardship of the Ozark natural environment.
Our campus is in the Bear Hollow Natural Area, located on 500 acres of Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission land in rural Madison county between Huntsville and Eureka Springs (approximately 35 miles from downtown Rogers).

We held our signature annual fundraiser, Call of the Wild, on April 21 at the John Q. Hammons Center in Rogers. Around 330 friends and supporters joined us for this fun-filled night featuring dinner, live entertainment by 3 Penny Acre, keynote speaker Michelle Harvey from the Environmental Defense Fund and live and silent auctions. We raised more than $80,000 to support the work of the Ozark Natural Science Center! Thank you to all who attended!
ONSC also offers adult and family programs as well as corporate facility rentals, but we are best known as the site of life-altering overnight school excursions for more than 4,000 public and private school students from Arkansas and beyond each year.
