Programs and events
Public Programming update
The health and safety of our visitors and event attendees is always Teatown’s primary concern. Please note the following:
- The Visitor Center will be open to the public on weekends only in July and August. Masks must be worn indoors in the Visitor Center and in the Nature Store.
- Masks are no longer required on Teatown trails.
- If a participant in a public program or any member of a participant’s household has any COVID-19 symptoms or tests positive for COVID-19 they must inform Teatown and remain home.
- All participants in public programs must wear face masks in Teatown buildings and observe physical distancing protocols six feet apart as much as reasonably possible during group activities.
- No refunds will be issued for any programs. Credits for future programs will be issued for health-related reasons only.
We welcome you to the preserve and ask you to please give a contribution today. Whether large or small, each donation will help support our staff, maintain our trails, and care for our wildlife ambassadors. Thank you for your support, from all of us at Teatown.
