Native Plant Club

Are you passionate or simply curious about native plants? If so, join us as we set the foundation for sharing knowledge, supporting one another’s efforts, and helping get more native plants into the community. Whether your interests lie in native landscaping, ecosystem restoration or keeping the wild...wild, this group is for you!

Plant-Rich Lunch Club

People have many reasons for reducing or foregoing meat: ethical, environmental, and physical. Whatever your goals, join with others to try new recipes and discuss your journey. Bring your own plate, utensils, and beverage, and a vegetarian or vegan dish to share. 

Edible Plants and Foraging Group

This group gathers together to learn about the botany, lore and culinary uses of local edible plants. Group members may participate in foraging forays, educational hikes and cooking events, and will have an opportunity to give back to the land and the Nature Center by helping to enhance native edible plantings. Gatherings happen as opportunities arise.

Project FeederWatch

Stay warm inside while helping collect community science data to submit to Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Bird watching and learning has never been so much fun. No experience necessary. Club takes place on Thursdays and Fridays, November through April.

TriState Hiking Club: Meetup

Stay fit and have fun with these 6-7 mile conditioning hikes that span hills, steps, and streams. Our goal is to keep moving and provide everyone with a good workout.
