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.

Beetle the Appaloosa

Beetle, an Appaloosa horse, joined the Green Chimneys equine program from a private farm in Connecticut. He has a diverse background in multiple riding disciplines; his previous owner kept him in excellent condition through long-distance trail riding. Beetle also had basic training in the sport of Dressage, as well as jumping and other competitive events. Appaloosas are known for their beautiful spotted coats and typically have a small build.
