Earthplace operates a variety of public education, research and wildlife rehabilitation programs in a 62-acre wooded sanctuary. A day-care program is also located within the center.

The Master Plan explores the feasibility and design of a recreational and educational trail system based upon the principles of Universal Design. The completed trail system offers two distinct trail experiences, depending upon the user's abilities and interests. The first trail accommodates a range of individual abilities with attention to user strength and stamina, awareness, orientation, and sunlight sensitivity. The trail provides a level gradient, a secure, smooth surface, and frequent areas for resting. The second trail offers users greater challenges and experiences. Guidance for the visually impaired is provided along the entire trail system by cues to special features and trail intersections. An interpretive trail signage system is under development.
