Friends of the Nature Preserve


The Friends of the Nature Preserve is a group of Binghamton University faculty, staff and students as well as local community members who care about the future of the remaining natural areas on campus as well as in Broome County. The Friends plan hikes and other events throughout the year to explore the Nature Preserve and learn about its history and ecology. Past hikes have celebrated the full moon, fall colors, the emergence of amphibians in the spring and other seasonal highlights. Other hikes, guided by the Friends, have been aimed at educating the local community about the Preserve. The Friends also serve the important role of habitat management and trail maintenance, from cutting down invasive plants to building boardwalks, putting down wood chips and clearing fallen trees from the trails. The Friends of the Nature Preserve meetings are open to anyone who loves nature. Meetings are held once or twice a semester and will be posted in Events.

For more information and to be added to the e-mail list send an e-mail to Dylan Horvath at naturepr@binghamton.edu.
