Celebrating 22 years of Nature in the City

Become a 2023-24 supporter today!

Now in its 22nd year, the Baltimore WoodsNature 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 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!
