Thanks to our community, the College Lodge Forest is now a permanently protected nature preserve as well as a member of the nationwide Old-Growth Forest Network. Join us for a virtual event to learn what we have planned for this incredible place, one of Western New York's hidden gems. Stewardship Director Josh Balisteri will give a brief summary of our public access plans, including the trails, while Stewardship Coordinator Erik Danielson will outline our habitat restoration/invasive species plans. You'll learn about what we have in store for 2023, and you'll also have the opportunity to ask us questions.

Join an Earth Spirit Naturalist on a winter walk through the recently opened Mossy Point Preserve to learn about the ecology of this unique location and discover what the plants and animals are up to throughout this time of the year. This will be a relatively easy walk on the new trail, but it will require walking up some slight inclines, possibly in snow.
