The 6th Annual Winterfest Cardboard Sled Races are now being held on Feb. 24th, from 10 am - 1 pm at the SUNY Canton Sledding Hill. 

Although we got rained out of our campfire on August 3rd, we're determined to send off the summer with s'mores and more! Join us for one last campfire on Thursday, August 17th at the Wachtmeister Field Station. We'll share our summer highlights - Nature Up North events or any other summertime adventures, have a few creative, summer-themed activities like rock painting and coloring sheets, and enjoy s'mores and a summer evening with each other. 

We’re happy to announce we’ve rescheduled Writing to Reconnect for our Thursday Night Campfire on August 3, from 7-9 PM at the Wachtmeister Field Station! We’ll be examining natural elements for the articulate expression of our shared environment and ourselves. Today, the way we often say that it's “too easy” to lose track of time on our phones for hours is similar to how we used to talk about the woods.

August 1st marks the rise of the Sturgeon Supermoon, and we know just the way to enjoy it! Join Nature Up North for a guided hike at Hart's Falls full of fun activities for the whole family. We'll learn why August's full moon is called the "Sturgeon" moon, what makes a supermoon "super," and explore Hart's Falls Preserve under the moonlight. 

Looking to get creative in the outdoors? Come learn how to build your very own fairy house at Lampson Falls! Join us for an enchanting afternoon as we make whimsical fairy houses out of objects and plants found in nature. Included in the workshop is a 15-20 minute walk along the trails to gather supplies, which we will then use to build the fairy houses! No prior knowledge or skill is necessary - just bring your imagination.
