The Yew Mountain Center is a new experiential education non-profit in Pocahontas County offering family friendly learning weekends, field trips, and special events based on the rich ecology and culture of the area.

The 500 acre property has mature forests, spring-fed ponds, well-developed trails and a rustic lodge. 450 of the acres are maturing upland hardwood forest with several miles of trails. About 50 acres are in pasture, old fields and ponds. The closest pond to the lodge is great for swimming, fishing and canoeing.
