ASHVILLE BRIDGE CREEK
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CENTER

The BBRF office is located at the Ashville Bridge Creek Environmental Education Center (the "EEC") off of New Bridge Road in Virginia Beach. This area is part of the expanded portion of the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and offers environmental educational programs for school children hosted by Refuge staff and BBRF.

A number of exciting programs are offered out of the EEC.  Many of these programs are advertised in the bi-monthly BBRF newsletter or through the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge.  Be sure to call ahead to make reservations.
