Celebrate Mother’s Day in the Great Outdoors!

Join Green Chimneys and the Putnam County Soil and Water Conservation District for a nature walk this Mother’s Day. Explore the Clearpool Model Forest and its ecosystems. Learn about spring wildflowers, stormwater management and much more. Our educators will even introduce you to a tool to help identify species local to this area.

About the Walk

This guided walk is moderate and will be punctuated by periods of observation and discussion. It is appropriate for ages 7 and older. It’s also perfect for those looking to get outside, experience something new and spend the day with family.

Please be mindful that the walk takes place over moderate terrain. Bring enough water to last the full duration and wear outdoor-appropriate clothing and footwear. Registrants will be notified of any changes via email. A reminder email will be sent prior to the event.

This event is free and open to the public.

Advanced registration is required—spots fill fast!

This event is canceled.

This workshop is a partnership with the

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.
