The Nature Learning Center at Tin Mountain's Albany campus will be closed for a private event.
The trails are open dawn to dusk!
Bring a blanket and enjoy nature’s fireworks! The shooting stars of August’s Perseid meteor shower will be on display and best viewed in large open areas. Tin Mountain’s Matt Maloney will point out constellations and explain the annual phenomenon as we wait for the meteors to be visible.
Saturday, August 15 (Sunday is the "rain date") is the day that over 500 cyclists take on the 7.6 mile race to the summit of Mount Washington. The Nature Learning Center is closed... but the trails are open dawn to dusk.
We had so much fun birding Thursday mornings this spring, we are extending it!
Join us for monthly birding at a variety of locations around the Valley. Come for one or all. All birding levels welcome. These informal walks are a great way to both learn and share your birding knowledge.
Please let us know if you need to borrow binoculars.
