Celebrating 24 years of Nature in the City
September 2025 will kick off the 24th year of the Baltimore Woods Nature in the City program brings authentic, hands-on/minds-on natural science learning to K-5th grade urban school children. Serving ALL elementary schools across the Syracuse City School District, our Environmental Education team visits every K-5 grade classroom for three, one-hour hands-on/minds-on natural science lessons tied to the curriculum each school year.
You can make sure over 8,200 students get these engaging opportunities to connect with nature right here in their community. Be part of the joy of exploration by becoming a program supporter today. You’ll be giving students the chance to be inspired by what’s right outside their door!
Thanks to our 2024-25 supporters for giving the gift of wonder, science, & nature through Nature in the City!
