Explore Spring!
Let’s get outdoors during school break! Will we find frogs, frogs, newly-returned birds?
Can we find a fungus, an animal, a new spring plant? After a time outside, we will look at some of our findings up close and look for birds at our feeders. A great way to celebrate Earth Day!

March 2026 events
Sugaring season is upon us, and it’s time to look for some early returning migrants. We’re still watching birds, making art, and exploring winter as often as we can.
We are open by appointment through the rest of the winter, as well as during the special events we have this month.

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?

The late fall November routine is all about ending the “summer” open season and preparing for the winter “behind the scenes” season. We often try to take lunch at the viewing window or share a moment with visitors there.
