This morning, Park Rangers had a great time navigating the corn maze at Bradley Farms, enjoying a snack, and soaking up the benefits of spending time outdoors in our watershed. 🍂🌾🌽

Join the Horseheads Family Resource Center and us next Friday at 10 AM for the LAST Park Rangers program of the season!

We’ll be meeting at Thorne Street Park in Horseheads to give back to our community. Park Rangers and their families will help clean up litter and prepare the playground for winter.

All materials will be provided. We hope to see you there!

Spooky season is in full swing at Houghton Land Nature Preserve!

Park Rangers hit the trail in search of some creepy, crawly forest creatures! We spotted an orange spider, observed earthworms, found sheet webs and funnel webs, and saw orange eyelash fungi! 🕸️

While these critters and fungi might seem a little scary, they are essential for a healthy forest habitat! 🌳

Join us & the Horseheads Family Resource Center next Friday morning at Bradley Farms for more Halloween themed adventures!

What a gorgeous morning for birding! 🐦

We had a fun time exploring the EK Birding Trail with the Horseheads Family Resource Center Park Rangers! These budding ornithologists got their own cardboard binoculars and set off to spot various pictures of northeastern birds along the trail! 🔎

We even heard the cheerful calls of Dark-eyed Juncos and Blue Jays along the way! 🎶

Join us next Friday at 10 AM at Pirozzolo Park for more outdoor adventures! The Park Rangers program is FREE and open to anyone interested in exploring with us!
