Noisy Wood Frogs, busy Chipmunks, and some nifty Sparrows!
Opening Day for the 2026 Season
Welcome everyone!
Enjoy “Summer” Hours
Today we switch to our “open” season. The Museum is open 10 am – 4 pm, Wednesday – Sunday, every week from May to October.
Drop in or plan your visit; attend an event or wander the trails.
Check out our 2026 art exhibit, Wings • Waters • Ways .
Of course, our trails, tree house, bird blind, and pollinator sanctuaries are open! Bring a friend and a picnic (and good shoes and bug repellent). Spend time listening for frogs and birds at the pond or for birds from the accessible tree house. Trails are open sunrise to sunset every day.

We are open by appointment through the rest of the winter, as well as during the special events we have this month.

Through the Window: January 2026
We had a relatively cold stretch of weather this January, which can lead to extra activity at the feeders. Perhaps that explains the one unusual sighting?
