From plants to animals to dirt, every week we will explore the
fields and forests of Tin Mountain’s Nature Learning Center,
using the outdoors as our classroom for these hands-on learning
adventures. Programs will be held outdoors except in cases of
deluge or subzero temperatures so dress accordingly.

Join us for the 37th Annual North Conway Christmas Bird Count. Observers are needed for traveling routes by foot, cross country skis, snowshoes, or by car. You can also tally birds at your feeder. All birding levels welcome!

Happy Holidays... the trails are always open!

Happy New Year... 2026...the trails are always open!

When Amy Stewart discovered a community of tree collectors, she expected to meet horticultural fanatics driven to plant every species of oak or maple. But she also discovered that the urge to collect trees springs from something deeper and more profound: a longing for community, a vision for the future, or a path to healing and reconciliation.

We will be meeting in person at the Nature Learning Center in Albany. However, there is also a Zoom link option for those unable to join in person.

Sponsored in part by White Birch Books in North Conway

Jordan Cargill is a native of the Mount Washington Valley who started his journey with Tin Mountain in school programs and as a camper and counselor at our summer camps. Now he's guiding incredible adventures around the world and he's bringing that spirit of exploration back home. This program follows his adventure on a Kilimanjaro trek and a safari in Tanzania. There will be an information session after the presentation about his next African Adventure - the best part being a portion of the trip cost is donated back to TMCC, directly supporting the next generation of nature lovers.

Whether you are considering this adventure for yourself, are interested in the spectacular images, or just want to say hi to Jordan, be sure to join us!

With a 92% decline since 1970, Evening Grosbeak (Coccothraustes vespertinus) was cited as the steepest declining landbird in the continental United States and Canada. The Evening Grosbeak Road to RecoveryProject aims to better understand the causes for this decline and monitor the current population. Matt Young, founder of the Finch Research Network (FiRN, will share what the data has shown them. Young will also introduce viewers to some of the 43 finches of the United States and Canada from feeder-favorite goldfinches to Red Crossbill tribes, to least known mountain-top Black Rosy-Finches to endangered Hawaiian honeycreepers from his work on The Stokes Guide to Finches of the United States and Canada.

This program will be held online via Zoom. Please register for the link.

Who’s been here? Was it a fox, a bobcat, or even a fisher? Learn basic track patterns and enjoy a morning outside with your family during this snowshoe adventure at the Rockwell Sanctuary in Albany.

Families of all ages are welcome and encouraged to attend. Dress warm & bring snowshoes or borrow ours.

Two Friends. 750 miles. One Question. If the Grand Canyon isn't worth saving, what is?
Filmmaker and photographer Pete McBride and writer Kevin Fedarko set out on a 750-mile hike through the entire length of the Grand Canyon. From the outset, the challenge was far more than they bargained for. More people have stood on the moon than have completed a continuous through hike of the Canyon. But their quest was more than just an endurance test — it was also a way to draw attention to the unprecedented threats facing one of our most revered landscapes.
The film screening will start at 7pm. Please arrive earlier to order food or beverages.

Join Will Broussard for an excursion to several great birding spots along the rocky coast of southern Maine to look for various ducks and shorebirds. We’ll meet at Dyer Cove in Cape Elizabeth and head south, visiting Two Lights State Park and Kettle Cove State Park. Be sure to wear and bring warm layers, lunch and water. Bring your own binoculars or borrow ours.

We will meet at Tin Mountain at 8am for those who would like to caravan or 10am at Dyer Cove.
