Wander Tin Mountain's Albany property on a guided tour and see what winter has in store! Interesting animal tracks, our resident birds, beautiful conifers, Chase Pond and unexpected sites await us. The terrain is variable, and so is the weather, so dress for the day and (depending on the snow conditions) wear snowshoes or boot traction devices. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
We have all snowshoe sizes available. They are free for members to borrow and $15pp for non-members (so consider becoming a member).
Walk-ins welcome
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.

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.
Fishers have been on the decline in the Granite State for the past 2 decades. Join Dr. David Needle, a veterinary pathologist at the New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, for an exploration of what is causing this decline. Starting with an overview of the animal’s ecology and regional history, he will also discuss the impact of diseases and exposure to rodenticides, as well as plans moving forward to understand these health impacts on a landscape level.

Walk-ins welcome
In The Courage of Birds, Pete Dunne chronicles the behavior of the birds of North America. He expertly explores widespread adaptations, such as feathers that protect against the cold, and unpacks the unique migration patterns and survival strategies of individual species. Dunne also addresses the impact of changing climatic conditions on avian longevity and recounts personal anecdotes that soar with a naturalist’s gimlet eye.
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.
