The center was formerly named the Trumbull Environmental Science and Cultural Commission (TESCC) and was established by the Trumbull Town Council. TESCC's aim is to focus on activities involving nature, art and science at the Wagner Tree Farm, a property of 11.4 acres with a pond located at 7115 Main Street (near Owl Hill Road). The TESCC was renamed the Trumbull Nature Commission and the tree farm will be known as the Trumbull Nature and Arts Center, according to the center's Web site. It offers a variety of nature classes for all ages.
