Our trails encompass various habitats found all across New York State! From the meadows of old farmlands, rounded hills formed by ancient glaciers, complex wetlands including ponds and vernal pools, expansive deciduous forests to the steep slopes and expansive views of Frenchman's Bluff.
Along with our trails, we offer a museum that houses over 40 animal ambassadors that can be found locally and around the world! Our animals come from all classes including: mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and even arthropods. With our large windows and native pine architecture, we allow visitors to connect with nature from the comfort of indoors. The main building and Morrell Lodge are the perfect locations for social gatherings, School groups, and birthday parties!
