Celebrating 22 years of Nature in the City

Become a 2024-25 supporter today and make year 23 possible!

Now in its 23rd year, 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 22 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 8,000 students get these engaging opportunities to connect with nature right here in their community. Become a program supporter today and give students the chance to be inspired by what’s right outside their door.

Thanks to our 2023-24 supporters for giving the gift of wonder, science, & nature through Nature in the City!
