Happy New Year... 2026...the trails are always open!
Join the Tin Mountain staff on an evening ramble through the beautiful fields and forests of Tin Mountain’s Rockwell Sanctuary in Albany. We will see whoooo is out and about on a mid-winters night. Dress warm and bring snowshoes or borrow ours.
If the snow pack isn't conducive to snowshoeing, we will use microspikes or bare boots.
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
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.
