Get to Know the
Clearpool Model Forest

Green Chimneys’ Clearpool Campus, in partnership with the Watershed Agricultural Council, sets aside 264 acres of the privately-owned forestland to support environmental education and forest stewardship within New York State’s Putnam County and the New York City Watershed. The vision for the Clearpool Model Forest is to create broad public commitment to forest stewardship by helping the community to understand the benefits of properly managed forests.

Meet Our Animals

Brownie

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
