What’s the Buzz?

Week of April 20, 2024 – April 27, 2024 by Katie McLaughlin, Environmental Educator April weather is predictable in the fact that you don’t know if you will have a rainy spring day, or a warm sunny day.

Emerging Life in and around Phillips’ Pond

Week of April 7, 2024 – April 13, 2024 by Elizabeth Suzedell, Environmental Educator At Baltimore Woods, we have a program for children called Trail School.

The Call of Spring

Week of March 31, 2024 – April 6, 2024 by Tom Meier, Camp Director and Program Manager Can you hear it? Goldfinches, sparrows, cardinals, bluebirds, and robins are all singing their little lungs out. Loud flocks of geese have been moving about overhead for weeks and are settling out in the ponds and marshes, already sitting [...]

Following Your Curiosity

Week of March 24, 2024 – March 30, 2024 by Catherine McLaughlin, Environmental Educator When you visit Baltimore Woods, or even your yard, how do you interact with nature? Are you taking photos?

Emerging Creatures

Week of March 10, 2024 – March 17, 2024 by Elizabeth Suzedell, Environmental Educator A 45°F and rainy March night sounds like the kind of evening most of us would want to spend hunkering down inside, staying cozy and dry. Not for amphibians! On the first rainy and relatively warm (40°+) nights of spring, salamanders and [...]

Week of March 3, 2024 – March 9, 2024 by David DuBois, Land Steward Throughout Baltimore Woods you will see flashes of color year round.

Textures of the Forest

Week of February 18, 2024 – February 24, 2024 by Anna Stunkel, Environmental Educator The recent weather has been uncharacteristically sunny here in Central New York (not to mention warm!), helping to lift our spirits and encourage outdoor adventures. During a walk around the preserve on one of these gorgeous days, I found myself attuned [...]
