In his essay for the July/August 2012 issue of Orion magazine (“Look, Don’t Touch“), David Sobel highlights the Harris Center as “one of the most comprehensive family engagement and education programs in northern New England” and applauds our support of “children’s freedom to roam, play, even build on preserved land.”
