Join birders of all levels on this weekly bird walk through the Brownfield Bog and view the rich diversity of bird life that makes its way north to rest or nest. Bring binoculars (or borrow ours), rubber boots, and a snack.
Explore Tin Mountain's beautiful Albany property with Outreach Coordinator, Heather McKendry. April is a magical time of year to wander the woods and hone our senses to the many signs of spring. As the snow melts and the ground thaws, flora and fauna welcome the "first season" as a time of rejuvenation; let's find out what, and who, is around the next bend in the trail.
The walk is approximately 2.5 miles and includes uneven terrain; please plan accordingly and dress for the weather. We will gather at the Nature Learning Center and leave from there.
$15 per person/$25 per household/$5 for TMCC members
Pre-registration welcomed, but not required.
Join us for an exploration of the first flowers of spring. The display is sure to please! While the date will be set by the flowers, sign up below to find out when we schedule the program. We will be visiting 2 separate sites; the first will be very easily accessible. The second will involve more uneven terrain. Feel free to join us for both locations or just the first.

One of New England's best and easiest places to see an old-growth forest is in the spectacular Franconia Notch State Park in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. This forest is unique because of the high percentage of yellow birch, indicating the absence of forest fires. Countless hurricanes and extreme weather have pummeled these trees, and we will see some classic indicators of an old-growth forest.
Join us for an insightful exploration led by David Govatski, a retired forester and silviculturist with extensive knowledge and experience in studying and exploring old-growth forests and ancient trees across North America. Our 3.5-mile round-trip hike along a paved bicycle trail, with an elevation change of only 200 feet, is considered easy.
