Back to School: A Parent’s Perspective

September 21, 2020

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

Red-tailed Boa

The red-tailed boa, also known as the boa constrictor, is native to the trees of South America — but this one hails from Long Island, New York! He was born and raised in captivity for three years until his owner decided to donate him to the Green Chimneys Wildlife program. In the boa\’s specialized enclosure, students can observe his movements and behaviors and even assist with feeding him rats.
