Help us create more memories!
Every year, we share the Baltimore Woods preserve with over 600 summer campers, and over 4,500 students from 30+ local schools come to us for fields trips. We also bring nature to more than 10,000 K-6th grade Syracuse City students. These kids are learning lifelong lessons, making memories in and about nature that will stay with them until they have families of their own. Help us create more memories by donating today!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland!
It’s sometimes easier – and more fun – to walk in our wonderland with a pair of snowshoes! Members can sign out a pair of snowshoes at the Interpretive Center during open hours, and it’s just $5 for the public to rent a set for use on our trails. We have snowshoes for kids and adults! So bundle up and come out for a winter hike!

Nature Tip
Did you know you still have time to forage for fungi? Cold-weather fungi such as chicken of the woods, chaga, and turkey tail make hearty meals, teas, or tinctures! Fungi have dangerous look-alikes, so join a foraging club to learn how to identify them. Ask landowners for permission before collecting.
