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.
Teatown is home to breeding birds of all shapes and sizes. Many of them rely on cavities in dead trees to build their nests. Not everyone has the perfect tree in their yard to encourage would-be parents! Join us for a nestbox building workshop so you can prepare for breeding bird season – owls start early!
Could solar power be as simple as plugging in an appliance? Join us for an introduction to plug-in solar, an emerging option that allows households to generate renewable electricity using compact solar panels.
Join Dr. Laura Jaworski to meet four different native and non-native species of owls from around the world as we talk about their unique characteristics, adaptations, and modern-day risks that they face. Learn what people can do to help raptors thrive in their native habitats, especially those who live in our own backyards.
