FALL 2026
Get outside with us this Fall!
Our fall events will offer plenty of opportunities to connect with nature and support local conservation and land stewardship.
Join us for guided walks, community events, and hands-on activities at our preserves!
A few highlights will include educational programs, special outdoor gatherings, and scheduled volunteer work days where you can lend a hand with stewardship projects.
More events will be added throughout the season, so be sure to check back often as new programs are announced. We look forward to spending the summer in nature with you!
P.S. - If you're looking for volunteer events, please follow us on www.volunteercny.org so you can get the latest updates about all of our volunteer opportunities!
