Chinsegut Conservation Center

Located six miles north of Brooksville, the Chinsegut Conservation Center is an environmental education facility managed by FWC that offers outdoor skills and conservation education programs to the public. Fun educational programs connect visitors with biologists and wildlife experts to explore and become familiar with Florida’s unique and sensitive natural areas. Outdoor skills programs such as archery, wildlife signs and compass navigation are offered seasonally as weather permits. The center is located on the Chinsegut Wildlife and Environmental Area, which is home to many wildlife species that can be observed throughout the year. Catch a glimpse of gopher tortoises, white-tailed deer, bobcats, sandhill cranes or turkeys from the hiking trails or at May’s Prairie. Chinsegut Conservation Center is the only educational facility operated by FWC's Public Access Services Office. Our mission is to serve the people of Hernando County and the surrounding area with high quality programs that educate people about wildlife, enable them to enjoy wildlife and empower them to take action to benefit wildlife.
