Join Charlie Roberto as we search for butterflies at Cliffdale Farm. Participants should be prepared to walk through tall grass – wear long pants, high socks, and closed-toe shoes.
The garden gates will be open at Cliffdale Farm and we invite you to visit our temporary bird and mammal enclosures. Drop in to speak with our Raptor Group volunteers, who will share their expertise about our live collection, including Red-tailed Hawks, Turkey Vultures, and Barred Owls. Ask your questions about prickly porcupines, chatty jays, and curious crows!
In this guided immersion, we explore the wisdom of bees, the medicine of honey, and the power of scent as pathways into regulation, reciprocity, and collective wellbeing. Through honey tasting & "medicine”-making, aromatic exploration, simmer pot creation, botanical room spray blending, sensory reflection, and community, participants will move through a carefully curated journey of connection, curiosity, sensory awareness, and integration.
Get ready for spring ephemerals! Join Wildflower Island Curator Rebecca Dymes for a talk before our first Open Gate Day of the season. She will highlight what’s in bloom, share botanical information, and touch on the history of this unique plant refuge.
The gates of Wildflower Island are open – come stroll the winding paths and enjoy the beauty of Teatown Lake from a different perspective. Guides will be stationed in the Gatehouse and along the trails to answer questions about the flowers in bloom.
